Village MarinaThis is the store for Village Harbor Marina which no longer has a parking lot.

Along the beachThese houses used to have dunes to protect them from the ocean. 'no more'
A lonely dune, all that remains.This picture is in the opposite direction, looking south. It shows how the beach was stripped of all the protection except this dune which stands alone...

Durant StationThis is one of the small motels that was taken off its foundation and moved about 100 yards into Hwy 12.
And one moreAll 3 of the last pictures shows Durant Station Motel, these are 3 separate buildings in 3 different locations. This one is in the middle of the road, while another piece was moved almost 500 yards to the West.

Entrance into Hatteras EstatesThis house didn't stand a chance. The water is said to be 8 feet deep under the house.
A new inletMaybe I should say old inlet. Before there was a road here there was a bridge. In the storm of 1933 the bridge that stood here was wiped out and a road was built in its place.
A closer lookStanding at the end of the road looking north towards Frisco is this breach, the new inlet. The question is, how will the transportation department solve this one???
RodantheThis is Hwy 12 looking north where Rodanthe and Pea Island meet. For surfers it is known as the “S turn”.
