It’s a long, 24-mile stretch that extends from the NC/Virginia State line to the town of Corolla and is known for its windswept, wild, and rugged landscape, with wild Spanish mustang horses grazing in by the shores.
One reason why Corolla Beach is one of our personal top beaches in OBX is because it’s a great beach for Stand-Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) – it has gentle waves and shallow shores, perfect for wading and paddling, especially if you’re new to SUP.
What makes this area unique is that it’s only accessible by 4WD, allowing visitors the chance to channel their sense of adventure and enjoy the solitude of remote life.
Nags Head is where most of the tourists go when visiting Outer Banks and has a ton of attractions and amenities that allow beach lovers to relax but without feeling cut off.
What attracts most people to Kitty Hawk Beach is the relative quietness and solitude. It has a skinny beach and features relatively skinny shorelines and soft golden sand.
Located at the Southern end of OBX on Ocracoke Island is Lifeguarded Beach, which has been famously declared as the “best beach in the United States” according to a 2022 report by Dr Beach.
