What to Do at the Outer Banks


Corolla has a number of attractions and activities for your family to enjoy. Within walking distance of Another Sea Esta (a quick bike ride from Sea Esta) is the Currituck Lighthouse.   From the Lighthouse, just south a few yards is the Whalehead Club - a restored home now used as a museum which sports walking trails on its soundside property. Just four miles north of the home is the 4 Wheel Drive beach - a 5-10 mile stretch of pristine beach that has no roads; where one might still see the wild horses that have made Corolla famous. If you do not have a 4WD vehicle, there are "outback" tours available.

For the kids, there is mini golf, go cart racing, bumper cars, paddle boats and an arcade at the Timbuck II shopping center.  Adults can browse the many fine shops while the kids are entertained. There is also parasailing, canoeing, kayaking, and wave running available through several companies in the area. Further south of Corolla in the Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills area, you can fish off the Kitty Hawk pier, visit the First Flight national park, and hang glide off of Jockey's Ridge where the Wright brothers first flew. A bit further south, Oregon Inlet boasts a deep sea fishing center.  In the Manteo area, on Roanoke Island, North Carolina sites an Aquarium and the reconstruction of the Lost Colony legend. All in all, the area has plenty of attractions and activities for people of all ages and interests!

Additional information can be found at Currituck County’s Web Site.  Outer Banks calendars are available (here and here).

Did we mention that we do have restaurants on the Northern Outer Banks?  The asterisk (*) denotes our favorites.
