SAFETY: Ahead of the Beach Day events, the Police Department offers the following reminders to help ensure a safe enjoyable event for everyone:
PARKING: As Beach Day is a Town-sponsored event, Paid Parking will NOT be enforced throughout the entire day in the Middleton Park Complex, from SE 46th St - SE 49th St -- All other areas will operate under normal enforcement. Paid Parking ends at 5:00 PM each day, and will NOT impact the Fireworks Display that evening. Parking in all locations for this event will be first-come, first-served.
TRAFFIC: As seen in the map above, all vehicles should exit the Island using E Oak Island Drive. Please DO NOT use side streets like Yacht Drive or Beach Drive for "shortcuts" as these will only slow traffic down when having to merge back onto E Oak Island Drive to access either the Swain's Cut Bridge at Middleton Ave (NC 906) or the G.V. Barbee Bridge at Long Beach Rd (NC 133).
