Hey there, folks! If you haven’t already caught the buzz, let’s take a moment to reflect on recent events in our beautiful Dare County. As we tread through September, we’re reminded of a significant date that has left a lasting impact on our nation: September 11. This past week was marked by ceremonies and reflections as many in Manteo and beyond took the time to honor those lost on that fateful day. The memories linger, but they also foster a sense of unity and resilience in our community.

State Grants Supporting Beach and Ocean Access

In exciting news for locals and visitors alike, Dare County received a generous boost from the state—around $500,000 in grants aim to enhance beach and ocean access. Isn’t that fantastic? These funds will support various projects to improve our shores, ensuring everyone can enjoy our beautiful coastline. Access to our famous beaches is a privilege, and it’s wonderful to see state support actively working towards that. Whether you’re walking along the sandy shores, setting up a beach day with the family, or readying your fishing gear, these improvements are bound to make your experiences even better!
