Drone Rules for Hammocks Beach State Park
NC State Parks are restricted from taking off, landing, or controlling a drone within the park to those with permission. Which is rare to receive.
Park visitors are prohibited from landing or taking off within or upon any state park property, of any airplane, flying machine (including drones, unmanned aircrafts, and quadcopters), balloon, parachute, glider, hang glider (except with permit at Jockey's Ridge State Park), or other apparatus for aviation.
In some limited circumstances, these aviation apparatus may be operated after obtaining a Special Use Permit from the state park.
Additionally, state law prohibits people from launching or recovering any unmanned aircraft systems from state property without consent.
