Abstract:
The appearance of off-road vehicles on the state's beaches in the late 1970s marks a dramatic change in the use of the beach environment. Hosier discusses their impact on barrier islands and makes recommendations for their use, including prohibiting their use on coastal dunes. He includes off-road ordinances from communities including Holden Beach and Nags Head.
