About Corolla's 4-wheel Drive Area

This is a recent question that I had gotten and had to think about for a while.

If you enjoy riding jet skies, there are a few places along the sound that allow you to rent them by the hour. There are are none to use on the ocean as the launching of Personal Water Craft (i.e. jet skies) into the ocean from the surf is not allowed anywhere on the Currituck Outer Banks. If you are planning on coming down here with your own jet skies your options become even more reduced by the fact that there are currently no public boat ramps on the 4-Wheel Drive beaches of Carova at this time, and only one on the "hard surface" of Corolla.

That would make the closest place to launch your own jet skies at the Whalehead Club in Cuttituck Heritage Park. On the plus side, while you're there, you can take in the many sites including the Currituck Lighthouse, Currituck Wildlife Museum, and the actual Whalehead Club. There are also many events that go on there throughout the year that are worth stopping over for.

One of the most beautiful sights on see in Carova is a new foal. It leaves me wondering how lucky this creature is to have been born among the Corolla Wild Horses. I got to see some of the baby horses on the beach and just in time. It was starting to get too crowded there so they shortly decided that it was time to call it a day and go back home. :)

This is a 10 minute video showing our 2 mile drive from the recycling center to our house. Along the way we saw a heard of the Corolla Wild Horses that had found their way into our new Carova Beach Park. If you want to jump straight to the horses, it is at about 2:30 into the video.Sorry But I don't know how to edit it out yet.

My wife and I took a walk to Virginia. It's so funny how we can walk into VA so much faster than we can drive into it. When we came back down the beach into NC it was starting to get dark. I don't know for sure what it is, but up here I enjoy the sun sets on the dune line much more than the sun rises on the shore line. I think it's because we have stretches of dune line where all you see is dune. On much of the paved section on the Outer Banks when you look west from the beach all you see is houses, hotels, & restaurants.

Take a look at some of these shots and tell me how you can not fall in love with Carova.

I apologize for the quality, but all I had on me was my cell phone.
