HARKERS ISLAND – Officials with the Cape Lookout National Seashore announced Friday that Portsmouth Village is now reopened to the public.
Because of the effects of Hurricane Maria which caused beach erosion from higher than usual tides and rough surf in late September, the park was evacuated for safety of visitors and staff.

Portsmouth Village was spared damage, but the grounds were flooded and it has taken time for the grounds to dry enough to allow for safe access.
Officials said visitors should use caution when visiting Portsmouth as the ground may still be moist in low-lying areas.
