Excerpt from Preserve Beach Access

Freedom to Enjoy America's Beaches is At Risk The Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area on North Carolina's Outer Banks was designated the first "National Seashore" in 1937 with the promise that people would always have the right of access for recreation.  Freedom to enjoy the beach, in a responsible way, is now at risk because of efforts by misguided environmental groups determined to restrict access for people  The right of access to Federal parklands is an important issue for everyone.  If beach access is eliminated at Cape Hatteras, the right of people to use our National Parks will be at risk everywhere.  Your help is urgently needed as part of this grassroots effort to preserve access for people.
