On the northernmost tip of the Outer Banks just shy of the Virginia border lies the community known as Carova Beach. Although many think of it as a town, it is actually a subdivision of Corolla. Accessible only by four wheel drive vehicles, it is a place with no paved roads, no commercial buildings, sand dunes lined with sea oats, and miles of pristine beaches. Oh, and did we mention, a place where wild horses roam free?
That’s right! The Wild Horses of the Currituck Outer Banks can be seen sauntering down the beach or grazing in yards throughout this beautiful region. Keep in mind there are strictly enforced rules regarding how close you can get to these wild horses so if you plan to visit here, be sure to pick up a copy of “Keeping the North Beach Safe” a publication by the Carova Beach Fire Department & the County of Currituck.
