Ocean Isle Beach N.C. Angry Seas Trying to Destroy Houses

The East end of Ocean Isle Beach is getting washed away. Drone video of the houses that will end up in the sea.

The sea is not angry, the people just have no sense

Those stilts go down so far they might as well be on rock.

[@freckles3705]

My address is Ocean Isle but I live west of the intercoastal waterway. They can refurbish that stretch of beach every year but it is an inlet to the intercostal waterway and will always erode during tropical storms or hurricanes. Sunset Beach is 5 miles south. They do not allow building directly on the beach.

[@SirBelvedere333]

I’ve lived in ocean isle since 1995. I’ve seen so many houses lost to the sea. God tells us very plainly don’t build your house on shifting sands. So sad ppl will not listen to our creator.

This has been happening for years, yet they continue to allow building in that area.

They've since added more *even closer to the inlet*. Ocean Isle is one of the most irresponsibly developed beaches in the state.

Well done. I have been going to Ocean Isle Beach since 1962 and have seen a lot of changes on the east end.

[@garyerlewine771]

wtf this has been going on for a long time now. think it started back in the mid 90's. try 4 rows of houses and streets lost. do u still own the land t when it is 50-100 ft out in the water ?

[@ianmoore6195]

The submerged lots still have owners. I did some digging, and the daughters of the guy who founded OIB own most of the submerged lots. It costs $100 a year in taxes per underwater lot. These could definitely be flipped if sand ever started accruing on this end of the island (which would be helped by that terminal groin they want to build.)

Never understood why people build their houses on the beach... C'mon the Natural Elements are going to win.

Actually not all these homes belong to rich people and in comparison to the west coast ocean homes like ca these would be on the low income scale.

dang im so sorrrrry it is ocean isle omg the east end loooks horrible beautiful houses gone to waste down at sunset were we go the houses are way back i really dont know why people intend to buid houses near the water when hurricanes come there either gone or washed out to seee

[@davidmartin976]

the groin which is held up in court could help. remedy this however as long as the few who hold no stake on ocean isle can impose their will it will continue to be delayed. and more erosion will occur

[@Yuro_eatsplatez]

I came to NC from the west coast. Prices all over are tempting especially to be next to the ocean but even I'm not that stupid to buy where disasters are always a season away and the level of natural land is lower then the sea.

[@jamiegaskins3687]

Yeah you’re right. I’d rather have a house out west so i could watch it burn to the ground

[@Yuro_eatsplatez]

@@jamiegaskins3687 depends on where you buy. I never lived in a fire area, mudslide area there. And here I wouldn't live next to the ocean because theres hurricanes. DUH!!! You gotta be stupid to be this close to the shore and not expect some disaster. I'm close enough to the beach to have a short drive and enjoy the day and far enough hurricane wont touch us. My house has been through all of them with no flooding or damage.

[@jamiegaskins3687]

Laura Catalano it’s pretty obvious you or no one else here realizes people dont live in those houses. Some rich family shows up for maybe 2 weeks out the year and that’s it. They don’t give a shit if it’s smart real estate, THAT WHERE THEY WANT IT. Locals don’t live like that

[@Yuro_eatsplatez]

@@jamiegaskins3687 so you must know every single person that owns every single home.

[@jamiegaskins3687]

Laura Catalano I don’t need to, it’s common sense. You clearly haven’t lived anywhere like this or worked in/on houses like this. Very few if any locals build these houses unless they’re renting them out the majority of the year

[@mikecarter7494]

Wow.. been going there for 30 years! East end of the island always erodes bad!

[@videorocketzmillar007milla5]

The ocean always wins. I used to live in Westlake near Pacifica south of San Francisco. Back in the 70s a friend had the apartment on the street overlooking the ocean. Open her front room curtains the Pacific Ocean. She and neighbors had backyard about 10 feet out and then the cliff. Then came global warming. Inch by inch the cold freezing ocean gets warmer and higher. The ocean was 300 feet out from the shore. Even at high tide it just came in 50 feet. No more. Her street is gone and the next block over is the new cliff. Horrible and frightening. Man has ruined the 🌎

[@janeengallo5396]

God did not create the Earth to be infinite. You might want to prioritize the New Heaven and the New Earth that He talks to us about; and become an advocate of that reality. This current earth is not permanent and He never intended it to be everlasting. The End Is unavoidable.😊

[@reglook1]

Global warming aside, just don't build so close to water.

[@xisotopex]

it doesnt have a f@cking thing to do with global warming. saying that only shows how ignorant you are to California's erosion process and coastal geology.

[@CoryMaiden]

Wow! this is pretty sad. What happened to ships bringing sand closer to the coastline? They brought sand near Oak Island around Caswell Beach.

[@deepdivetrading]

I'm not sure why they didn't do it this year. There was a lot of beach there when I was there in August.

[@richardsoutdoorworld5284]

New Jetty is in place and Beach has been built back up very wide and keeping high tide far away from houses now ! I walked the area around Jetty and remote beach , heres video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ3RnIhqm6x9gZY

[@deepdivetrading]

I agree, this is actually the third row of houses originally. The other two rows are gone.

[@mikecagle984]

Let me guess, you're going to blame it on "global warming" and not tell anyone it's high tide, right?

[@deepdivetrading]

I'm not blaming anybody or anyone. I was shocked at how much erosion has occurred since I was there in August. There was a lot of beach back in the summer low or high tide. Apparently there were two rows of houses in front of those that are long gone and these will eventually go too. I'm sure when the people bought these houses two rows back that they didn't think that they would be destroyed too.

With sea level rise , these homes with very soon be only accessible by boat and in five to ten years their homes will be in the sea lanes. The question is: when will the insurance companies cease to insure? The time is now to dismantle , either move the homes in one piece or disassemble them. The main objective would be to reduce the debris in the sea lanes.

[@xisotopex]

it doesnt have anything to do with sea level rise, its called erosion and its been going on forever. its a barrier island, and barrier islands have ALWAYS shifted, not to mention many things that humans do exacerbates coastal erosion. its got nothing to do with your fictional bogey man of "sea level rise"
