Review & FAQ:
Coquina Beach is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The beach is completely undeveloped but is located close enough to the well-developed towns of Nags Head and Kitty Hawk, where visitors can find services and restaurants if desired. The beach is accessible only by foot or 4WD vehicle. The beach (Video) is the location of the shipwreck Laura Barnes from 1921, and a few pieces of the ship still remain. Coquina Beach is a popular location along the Outer Banks for surf fishing, which is at its best in the spring or fall. Coquina is the perfect place for a quiet, relaxing beach trip not too far off the beaten path.
