Sunday, January 2, 2022 Update
Due to high surf and anticipated storm conditions, the beach will be closed to driving on Monday, January 3, 2022. Once the storm passes, we will assess conditions to see when it will be possible to re-open the beach to driving.
Four-wheel drive, state inspected vehicles with a Town permit ($25) are allowed on the beach in both Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills from October 1 through April 30 each year. Modified utility vehicles ("MUTV") as described in N.C.G.S. 20-4.01(27) shall not be considered an "eligible" vehicle regardless of whether the MUTV is registered or licensed in any state.
