Dare County, in partnership with Current TV, has released a new video highlighting the upcoming beach nourishment project scheduled to take place in the unincorporated villages of Buxton and Avon on Hatteras Island in the summer of 2026.

The project, which is part of Dare County’s ongoing efforts to protect the shoreline, designed to widen existing beaches and create a larger protective barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and critical infrastructure on Hatteras Island – specifically N.C. Highway 12.
