MANTEO, N.C. — Cape Hatteras National Seashore (Seashore) is advising its visitors to avoid the beach adjacent to Ocean Drive in Rodanthe, due to exposed wires, pipes and septic systems.
The Seashore is working with Dare County and the Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative on the exposed hazards.
Hazards, such as building materials and parts of septic systems, may also be present in other areas of the beach in Rodanthe, so beachgoers should use caution throughout the beaches in front of the village.
