Please do not approach alligators at Onslow Beach

The recent sighting of an alligator in the surf at Onslow Beach is a rare occurrence. Alligators are usually found in freshwater. However, alligators have been discovered in the surf on Onslow Beach in the past. Should you spot an alligator  at Onslow Beach or other areas, do not approach the alligator. It is unlawful to capture, harass or feed an alligator. Alert others in the area. Immediately notify a Lifeguard or the Onslow Beach staff in the reservations office. You may also contact the Military Police Desk Sergeant at 451-3004/3005. Provide detailed directions to the location. Stay away from the alligator until wildlife officials arrive to address the situation.
