Cape Hatteras National Seashore (Seashore) has announced the closure of beach accesses, off-road vehicle access and facilities in anticipation of Hurricane Erin. This move is in line with the State of Emergency and mandatory evacuation orders issued by Dare and Hyde Counties for Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands.
The closures are part of a broader effort to ensure the safety of residents, visitors, and park staff as Hurricane Erin approaches. The Seashore is working closely with local authorities to monitor the situation and will continue to provide updates as the situation develops.
Visitors and residents are urged to adhere to evacuation orders and to stay informed about the hurricane’s progress. Updates on the status of the park and its facilities will be made available on the Seashore’s official website. The safety of everyone in the area is the top priority, and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
