Officials are urging visitors of the OBX to stay away from Rodanthe Beach as they investigate the collapse of an unoccupied beach house in Rodanthe.

RODANTHE, N.C. (WTVD) -- Cleanup is underway after another Outer Banks home collapsed into the ocean Friday morning. It happened at Ga Kohler Court in Rodanthe. So far, the ocean has taken eight Outer Banks homes since 2020, but two in just the last six weeks.

Cape Hatteras National Seashore said the unoccupied oceanfront home fell early Sept. 20 in Rodanthe, a roughly 215-mile drive southeast from Raleigh. The house is the eighth to collapse in the area during the past four years.
