The Town of Nags Head said that the beach nourishment works are set to begin May 14, with initial equipment now being staged in south Nags Head near Camelot Street, around the 9700 block of South Old Oregon Inlet Road.

“ During beach nourishment sand is pumped onto the beach from a dredger, or in our case, two dredgers (and two active construction/closed areas), in the ocean via a submerged pipeline. Construction typically proceeds in one direction from the submerged pipe (also known as a landing point or subline) for a few thousand feet and then proceeds in the other direction from the same landing point,” the Town said.
