Beach Nourishment Project Update 

The Dredge Liberty Island returned to work Thursday, June 27, 2019 and began building a landing pad to begin using the submerged pipeline located near Mile Post 15. Construction over the next 10 days or so will progress north to tie into the already nourished beach seen in the distance. After the tie in is complete, construction will progress about 5,000 feet to the south.

Fireworks Viewing Information

Parking at and near the fireworks display site will be directed by the Nags Head Police Department. Those attending the show are encouraged to park east of U.S. Highway 158/S. Croatan Highway. Those choosing to park west of U.S. Highway 158/S. Croatan Highway should use extreme caution while attempting to cross this heavily traveled roadway.  

All persons attending this event are reminded not to use or block private driveways. Vehicles blocking driveways or presenting a traffic hazard before, during, or immediately following this event will be towed. The Town of Nags Head requests that persons use the public beach accesses as pathways to the oceanfront. Please stay off the environmentally sensitive dune and do not use the private property of others, such as private gazebos or decks, to view the fireworks without the property owner’s permission.  
No vehicles, with the exception of authorized Town and emergency vehicles, will be allowed on the oceanfront beaches.

The following public beach accesses are recommended for viewing the fireworks:

• South of Nags Head Fishing Pier    
• Curlew Street    
• Hollowell Street    
• Conch Street    

North of Nags Head Fishing Pier

• Bladen Street
• Bittern Street
• Bonnett Street
• Barnes Street

Jockey’s Ridge State Park is another ideal spot for viewing the fireworks. Other local fireworks shows may be seen but distantly. The park will be open late July 4th to accommodate visitors. Please call the park at 252-441-7132 for more information.  

At the conclusion of the fireworks, spectator, pedestrian, and vehicular traffic exiting the area will be directed and controlled by Nags Head police officers.

The Town of Nags Head wishes to express its gratitude to Andy and Lovie McCann and the entire staff of the Nags Head Fishing Pier for agreeing to co-host this event.
