Lea-Hutaff Island is one of the last undeveloped barrier islands along North Carolina’s coast. The 4 mile long island is Located between Topsail and Figure Eight Islands. Once separate islands, Lea and Hutaff were joined in 1998 when an inlet filled in. Just three houses were ever built on Lea Island and the last house, which can be seen in this video, collapsed October 5th 2015, less than three months after this video was taken.
Much of Lea Island is owned by the state and Audubon North Carolina, which monitors beach nesting birds and sea turtles. The Hutaff family retains ownership of its portion in a trust.
