How can you tell what is Open

[oysterbreath]

Is there any way to tell what beaches are open or closed before i drive
5 1/2 hours and find out the hard way?? I have put my OBX plans on hold because i dont know if i can fish or not?? Does the park service have a website or do i just go by what i read on the fishing sites???

The NPS posts the latest access reports here:

http://www.nps.gov/caha/parknews/newsreleases.htm

Scroll down the page.

But as crazy as things are there's no guarantee. Be very careful down there, trespass into a closed area will result in the area's dimensions being increased. It totally sucks.

Hey Plug
Thanks for the link, your right this really sucks. so i guess if the bird population triples in the next few years they will the will just close the whole island.

there are already some more/new closures that arent listed on there that probably will be listed on the next one

Closures are changing daily. I went over OI bridge sat afternoon heading south to ocracoke and returned sunday afternoon - N side OI access changed dramatically. Same thing happened between ramp 43 and 44 sunday. Complete BS.

Hey Phil,

Heresay is they closed the beach between 43 & 44 because a pair of oystercatchers LANDED there.
