PWCs Can Now Access Cape Lookout National Seashore
After several years of debate and strong public opinion on both sides, the National Park Service has decided to balance the concerns of both sides by allowing limited access to the Cape Lookout National Seashore for personal watercraft (PWC). As of Friday, PWCs are allowed to land at 10 locations on the sound-side beaches of North Core Banks, South Core Banks, and Shackleford Banks. Jet ski operators will also be required to directly approach the shore at idle speeds in order to minimize environmental impact. PWC operators will be responsible for reviewing the designated access areas and the Coast Guard will cite violators with a $150 fine. More information is available from the Cape Lookout National Seashore website, including detailed maps of the designated landing areas.
