Beach & Waterfront Access http://www.nccoastalmanagement.net/web/cm/beach-and-water-front-access Te Division of Coastal Management awards matching grants to local governments for projects to improve access to the state’s beaches and waterways. Local governments may use access grants to construct public access facilities, including parking areas, restrooms, dune crossovers, and piers. Projects range in size from small, local access areas to regional access sites with amenities such as large parking lots, bathrooms, and picnic shelters. Towns and counties also may use the grants to replace aging access facilities. In addition, local governments can use the funds to help acquire land for access sites or to revitalize urban waterfronts.
