Review:

Carova Beach is a remote stretch of shoreline in the northernmost part of the Outer Banks. The beach is only accessible by boat or 4WD vehicle along a paved road from Corolla. Wild horses can be spotted roaming freely on the beaches here. There are no shops, restaurants, or any other attractions; development is limited to beach homes and a rescue station.

Popular ways to spend time at Carova Beach include sailing, windsurfing, and kiteboarding. The area is also a popular spot for fishing. The nearby town of Corolla offers restaurants, shops, and attractions such as the Corolla Wild Horse Museum. This museum is located in a historical schoolhouse that features informative and interactive exhibits about wild horses. Keep reading for more North Carolina beaches and find the closest beach near me.
