Matt Huband-Broker/Owner Outer Banks Realtor-Corolla to Hatteras: Real Estate Agent in Corolla, NC

It has been a long time coming but finally the Town of Nags Head has received the go ahead to start their beach nourishment project. Beach nourishment has been a controversial topic on the Outer Banks for the last 15yrs. The project will begin in June and start in South Nags Head, an area that has seen the worst beach erosion over the last 2 decades, and will span 10 miles. Only time will tell if it was worth it or not.

Below is the beginning of an article from The Outer Banks Voice on the project:
