Beach Nourishment Across the Outer Banks
To counter the effects of the natural beach erosion on the OBX sand is pumped onto the beaches by the local munincipalities. The sand is dredged from offshore sites which contain compatable sand and piped up onto the beach and leveled out with heavy equipment. This is called beach nourishment and most of the towns on the Outer Banks have instituted some type of beach nourishment program. Below are links to the beach nourishment programs in each town or county.
