Hammocks Beach State Park in North Carolina To Get Bigger

Hammocks Beach State Park in North Carolina is adding 290 acres thanks in part to the state, a land conservation group and the heirs.

Part of the land will be set aside for for a youth camp to be set up by one of the heirs and the rest will be largely left alone. The state is looking for input for best use of the land. The land was a bargain and one of the last large pieces of land on a tidal creek that joins with the intracoastal waterway.
