The Croatan Civic League is sponsoring our End of Summer at the beach for CCL members and their guests (Adults Only) on Sept 18th from 3 – 7pm. Click on the image above for more information and please RSVP by Sept. 10th to avoid the price increase for tickets.
Croatan is a beach community of predominantly single family homes in Virginia Beach, nestled next to the Atlantic Ocean just south of Rudee Inlet. The Croatan Civic League (CCL) works to improve the neighborhood, enhance the quality of life, help protect the environment and provide supplemental security services for residents and guests. We have several clubs including a Women’s Club and a Book Club. The CCL publishes a monthly news letter and a neighborhood directory periodically to help us get to know our neighbors. We also sponsor periodic neighborhood events such as the CCL – Spring Fling, Neighborhood get- together’s, a Halloween parade and acitivites for the children and a CCL annual dinner/meeting each fall. Well over 300 families and property owners support the Croatan Civic League. We invite all residents of Croatan to join us and support the efforts to preserve, protect and promote the interests of our very special community.

Today is the day! Its beautiful weather for our neighborhood party at the point. Thank you in advance to all of the CCL volunteers who made this possible.

From VA Aquarium Stranding & Research - Sept. 15th
Hi ,
I wanted to follow up with details regarding the Croatan Beach nest as I know there has been a lot of concern surrounding it. It did see several days of tidal inundation which resulted in abundant packed sand being deposited over the nest. Our nightly nest monitors removed the sand but it did cause the sand surrounding the nest cavity to become fairly compact. I took a look into the nest Monday because I was concerned as a result of those events and since we had not seen any turtles emerge yet. Based on what I saw in the nest, I re-covered it to allow turtles a little more time to emerge on their own which one did last night. I am planning to dig up the nest tomorrow morning, 9/15 at 8am. Any live hatchlings that are found will come back with us to be stored in a cool, dark place during the day to conserve energy and be released after dark. I will also take an inventory of unhatched eggs, hatched eggs and live vs dead hatchlings found. There is a potential we will find more dead than live hatchlings but I did want to let you know so you can pass along the word in case any residents are interested in attending as well. We are planning to have one more night of overnight monitoring tonight and I am hoping all the turtles emerge on their own but we will see. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions/concerns.
Thanks so much!
