Previous Updated 9/16/24 - 10:15AM
Please stay weather alert and be mindful that we will be experiencing higher tides than normal throughout this week. This week we will experience King Tides and on Wednesday there will be a Super New Moon. This along with expected rainfalls can cause coastal flooding and over wash.
Staff deployed Road Closed signs to River Road late yesterday and signage will remain in place during this event. The 4x4 Drive on area will also remain closed until the weather improves. Please stay informed and refrain from driving through any flooded roadways.
