Avon, N.C. 27915

[BoobieinPa]

The wife just booked us a home in Avon for the 1st. week in June. Could someone advise me the laws in the area, as to detecting the shoreline and in the water. If it is permitted I plan on taking my Tiger Shark and the DFX.


Thank you
Any information will be most appreciated,

Actually from the southernmost beach access in South Nags Head north to Virginia line is OK. When you walk across the dune at this access you must go left(North). This access is a few miles north of Oregon Inlet.

so the beach on the north side of the bridge is fed?? where all the surf fisherman hang out ??

thanks for the info.

Realeman's got it right. South Nags Head North to the state line is legal. South of the last house in Nags Head is not.It's all National wildlife refuge including Ocracoke and Portsmouth islands.

any area shown in green will get your detector taken away.
The areas within the towns you will need to check with the individual towns to see if it is OK.

Thank you for the map [home.nps.gov]. If I read it correctly the Area around Avon & Buxton on the sound side is ok for detecting. Those areas are not in the green.

There is no bridge to Ocracoke. Only way to get there is by ferry, private boat, or plane. Boobie, I will be down on Ocracoke from May 31 thru June 10. If you can find you can detect in Avon maybe I will take the ferry over one day and join you. We spend and a week and a half or so there every summer on Ocracoke and if time permits a shorter trip or two during the year. Good hunting.

 

[BoobieinPa]

I will be there from June 3 to June 10. We will be leaving on the tenth. That is when our rental is up. At least that is the info I have as of now.
Are you also on the Treasure Quest forum?

 

[Ronin]

would still check to be sure that there is no local prohibition against detecting.
