Visitors are urged to avoid the beach adjacent to Ocean Drive in Rodanthe because of exposed wires, pipes and septic systems, Cape Hatteras National Seashore officials said Thursday.
The officials are working with Dare County and the Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative on the exposed hazards, according to the advisory.

Public Affairs Specialist Mike Barber told Coastal Review Thursday that while performing periodic monitoring of the shoreline in Rodanthe, rangers noted the eroded beachfront and a number of concerning hazards adjacent to Ocean Drive in Rodanthe.
The exposed septic systems, unknown wires and pipes, prompted officials to contact the county and electric cooperative, and to issue the advisory announced Thursday morning, Barber explained.
Beachgoers should use caution throughout the beaches in front of the village because hazards, such as building materials and parts of septic systems, may also be present in other areas of the beach in Rodanthe.
