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).
