Corolla’s natural resources have attracted people ever since the first human walked upon its wild shoreline. Waters teeming with fish and skies filled with ducks, geese and swans drew Native American hunting parties from the mainland, nourished permanent residents in the mid-1880s and prompted wealthy sportsmen to build hunt clubs such as the Currituck Club, Swan Island Club and Whalehead Club in the 20th century.
The sea brought Spanish explorers in the 16th century and the ancestors of Corolla’s famous wild horses. As coastal commerce increased in the centuries that followed, so did the number of shipwrecks along the Outer Banks and the need for warning beacons like the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, first illuminated on December 1, 1875.
Today, you can enjoy Corolla’s tranquil natural beauty by simply relaxing on the beach or in active pursuits such as offshore and inshore fishing, jet skiing, parasailing and surfing. Play golf or tennis. Relax in a luxurious spa. Dine in elegant surroundings or at a casual cafe. Take a four-wheel drive tour to see Corolla’s wild horses. There’s so much to do and we can help you plan a vacation that will make memories to share for generations.
