This report presents the results of a location intensive seasonal study 

 of the beach fauna of a barrier island in Dare County, North Carolina. The 

 study area includes the beach face from the margin of the swash zone to 60 

 meters offshore on the ocean beach and from the swash zone to 300 meters 

 offshore on the sound beach. A simple quantitative sampling device was 

 developed for use in the surf zone and was used throughout this study.
