Another house has collapsed along the beach in Rodanthe.

Cape Hatteras National Seashore announced in a Friday morning news release it is urging its visitors to avoid the beach and stay out of the water near the north end of Rodanthe and potentially for miles to the south, due to the collapse of an unoccupied house at 23001 G A Kohler Court in Rodanthe that occurred early the morning of Friday, September 20, 2024. Additionally, CHNS is monitoring an adjacent house that sustained damages because of the house collapse.

“Dangerous debris may be present on the beach and in the water to the north and south of the collapse site, which will likely lead to temporary beach closures for public safety,” stated the release.

A debris removal contractor, hired by the property owner, is expected to begin cleanup work Friday, stated the release. Debris removal activities may also be conducted by National Park Service staff.

The collapse of the house at 23001 G A Kohler Court is the eighth house collapse on CHNS beaches over the past four years, and the third this year. No personal injuries were reported in connection with any of the collapses.
