The state of NC is going to round up will soon be sold off and sell off all of the goats living on three islands off the coast of Ocean Isle Beach.
For as long as anyone can remember, a herd of goats have called these uninhabited islands near Ocean Isle Beach, NC & Sunset Beach, NC home. During the day, they flop down in the sand underneath trees to rest in the shade. According to one long term area resident these goats have been there since before Hurricane Hazel in the mid 1950s!
Ocean Isle Beach Mayor Debbie Smith said she's seen goats on those islands for more than 25 years.
Since the islands were created when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredged the Intracoastal Waterway, the N.C. Department of Administration determined the islands were state-owned land and put up signs calling for the goats' removal.
