The Northern Outer Banks is known for its remote, pristine beaches, Corolla Wild Horses, Maritime History, a 150-year-old Lighthouse History, and beautiful natural setting. But, did you also know that The Northern Outer Banks is also known for its laid-back family fun? It’s time to make a splash in your family’s spring or summer.
Beaches
The beaches of Corolla and Carova are just the start of the fun. Yes, the beaches here are pristine, wide, and natural, allowing plenty of room for you, your family, and friends. No cramped beaches here. You have the room to run around and play games, boogie board, surf, or just relax.
The 4×4 beaches of Corolla and Carova, with a parking permit, you can drive up, park, and stay at the beach all day with everything you need packed in your 4×4 vehicle — making for some adventurous off-roading family fun.
Water Sports
The Currituck Sound is the body of water that separates Corolla and Carova from the mainland. The Sound provides a great opportunity to experience water sports on a different body of water here at the beach. Here you can participate in activities like eco-tours with kayaking and stand up paddle boards or get up in the sky where you can see a 360-degree view of The Northern Outer Banks from a parasail adventure above the water.
Thrill Rides
If you are looking for something a little more adventurous, head over to the mainland where the H2OBX Waterpark is an oasis for those wanting to get off the beach but still enjoy some water adventures. This Outer Banks–themed waterpark features 30 rides, slides, and attractions. Rated the No. 1 family attraction on the Outer Banks.
Accommodations
Want to stay close to the action? You can choose from a multitude of vacation rental homes or one of our quaint hotels or inns. Either way, you get to choose the amenities for your family’s lodging experience. Houses can be oceanside, soundside, or somewhere in between — both sides of the peninsula are just a walk to a body of water. You can also have a choice in your amenities, which include pools, Jacuzzis, game rooms, theater rooms, full kitchens, outdoor living, and anything else you can dream of in your accommodation. Always plan early, as you have the ability to choose from many amenities but the sooner you book, the more choices you have available. Once you are here, you can have the time of your life with your family either in the comfort of your accommodation or at one of the many activities on The Northern Outer Banks.
