All floodlights and excessive exterior lights must be turned off after 10PM. Excessive lighting creates light pollution that adversely impacts stargazing, disrupts the natural nesting patterns of sea turtles, and your neighbor’s sleep when a spotlight is shining in their bedroom window.

Sand dunes are a vital component of our barrier island system that makes up the Outer Banks. In addition to protecting our community from harsh storms, they are also home to natural vegetation and wildlife. We respectfully request that you do everything you can to help up preserve the quality and functionality of our sand dunes by refraining from climbing/traversing, allowing pets, digging, removing plant-life, playing, or operating a vehicle on the dunes.
