The holidays are about spending time with loved ones and cherishing the time we have together. Why not spend it at the beach? The Northern Outer Banks, which includes the beaches of Corolla and Carova, is known for its vacation rental homes, so there is no reason why you can’t bring the whole family. Whether you are gathering for Thanksgiving to enjoy that family turkey meal and watch the big game in the luxury of a beach house or waking up Christmas morning to family, presents, and the sunrise over the ocean, this holiday season will be remembered for years to come. Here in Corolla, you are able to truly unwind. Whether you spend your days walking on the beach or visiting a few of our historic attractions, you are sure to enjoy this season together.

So, what can you do during the holidays? From as little to as much as you want, but just know that this place does not have the hustle and bustle of the city. This is family time! Cook that big meal for the family, or have it catered. Want to connect with nature and clear your head from the daily grind by taking in some outdoor scenery? We have plenty here.
The Northern Outer Banks is known to be an outdoor haven for nature lovers, from touring the legendary Corolla wild horses to taking a hike on the Estuarine Reserve or just spotting some ocean or sound birds that call this place home — Corolla is nature’s paradise.

If events are what you are searching for, Christmas in Corolla starts the Friday after Thanksgiving and runs through most of December. Christmas in Corolla is one of The Northern Outer Banks’ signature events. It includes a candlelight tour at Whalehead in Historic Corolla Park; Christmas shopping at the Christmas Craft Village; and holiday lights, food, and music throughout Historic Corolla Village.
After the gifts are opened, stay a while longer and ring in the New Year in The Northern Outer Banks!

Let the beacon of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse draw your family to this wonderful coastal destination this holiday season. We invite you to find yourself here.
