Corolla Attractions

The main attraction in Corolla is oceanfront—miles and miles of Corolla beaches that are lined with fabulous vacation rental homes. You’ll find plenty of other things to do here including lots of shops and restaurants, fishing adventures and other water sports.

The Whalehead Club and the Currituck Beach Lighthouse are the two major visitor attractions in the area. Everyone loves climbing the lighthouse, and people return year after year to see the unique architecture at the historic club. The newest attraction at Currituck Heritage Park is the Center for Wildlife Education.

Just north of the lighthouse is old Corolla village. Here you’ll find old homes, quaint shops and friendly folk in an atmosphere that is very different from the rest of the beach.

Just when you think you’re getting somewhere, the paved road ends abruptly at the beach. You can keep going, however, driving on the beach into what the locals call the “four-wheel drive area,” up to Penny’s Hill, Swan Beach and Carova Beach, where there are a ton of rental homes and a few full-time residents, including wild horses. About 10 miles up the beach, there’s a gate blocking you from entering the state of Virginia. This is the ending point of Currituck’s Outer Banks. You have to turn around and go back the way you came.

Ten Great Things to do in Corolla

Corolla Wild Horse Fund and Seventh Annual Wild Horse Days of the Outer Banks

1126 Schoolhouse Lane, The Wild Horse Museum/Heritage Park/Corolla Light Town Center
Corolla
(252) 453-8002

The Seventh Annual Wild Horse Days of the Outer Banks is a three-day festival scheduled for July 6-8. On the 6th and 8th, activities take place at the Wild Horse Museum in the Schoolhouse in Old Corolla Village. On the 7th, they are at the Corolla Light Town Center and Currituck Heritage Park. Each day there are lots of activities for the kids, interactive educational displays, live entertainment, games, pony rides, a petting zoo, adoptable dogs and cats, great food, vendors and a chance to interact with a gentled wild Spanish mustang. Keep your fingers crossed as this year they are working hard to get the Budweiser Clydesdales. In addition, they will have daily horse shows featuring Colonial Spanish Mustangs as well as other breeds.
The purpose of the event is to educate the community and raise awareness about the need to permanently protect the wild horses as well as to raise funds to support their caregivers, the nonprofit Corolla Wild Horse Fund. The Fund protects, preserves and manages the historic herd of Colonial Spanish Mustangs that roams the 7,550 acres of beaches, maritime forests, marshes and open pasture north of Corolla. Currently there are about 100 horses in the herd, and there are always gentled horses available for adoption.

Corolla Wild Horse Museum

1126 Schoolhouse Lane, Corolla Schoolhouse, Corolla Town Center
Corolla
(252) 453-8002

Housed within the restored schoolhouse of Corolla Village, the museum shares the wonderful history and legacy of the Colonial Spanish Mustangs. Descendents of Spanish Mustangs brought to our island nearly 500 years ago, they are a hardy and majestic breed that is teetering on the brink of extinction.. At the museum the whole family can learn more with interactive, hands-on activities, photography and historical information.

Here are some special events for the summer:
Paint your own wild Colonial Spanish Mustang! The Corolla Wild Horse Fund sponsors horse painting for kids every Tuesday and Thursday, from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Hours are 11 to 2. Paint, brushes and smocks are provided, and kids of all ages can join in the fun. Artists can choose from large wooden horses attached to trees that stay up all week for passersby to admire or wooden horse cut-outs to go and paint later. A $6 donation is accepted for large horses and a $4 donation for the ornament-sized cutouts. Artists who can’t stay to paint or who arrived too late can purchase kits complete with paint to take home. All proceeds benefit the wild horses.

On Wednesdays, weather permitting, a gentled Colonial Spanish Mustang will visit the Schoolhouse from 11 to 2. Corolla Wild Horse Fund staff and trained volunteers will provide interesting information about the history of wild horses and how visitors to the Outer Banks can help to save this dying breed. Petting is encouraged!

On Fridays at their new second location in Corolla Town Center — pony rides! Ride a gentled Colonial Spanish Mustang around the ring while raising awareness and funds to help this critically endangered breed. Look for the rearing copper Mustang as a landmark.

Whalehead Club

1100 Club Road, Currituck Heritage Park
Corolla
(252) 453-9040

The Whalehead Club is a historic house museum on the northern Outer Banks. The grand residence, dressed in bold yellow and striking copper, stands on a vast green lawn bordering the Currituck Sound. At first sight of the more than 21,000-square-foot Art Nouveau home, so out of place in the Outer Banks landscape, it’s immediately apparent that it has an intriguing past and a fascinating story to tell.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Whalehead Club sat empty and abandoned for nearly 25 years until Currituck County bought the building with the intent of restoring it. Since 1999, the county has painstakingly restored the house to the way it looked when it was completed in 1925 (then known as Corolla Island). The multimillion dollar restoration began with the replacement of the copper roof. The exterior of the house and boathouse are again the original paint colors, as are the interior walls. The interior has been completely restored, from the coffered ceilings down to the cork floors. Many of the original fixtures and details remain: The water lily motif carvings again stand out near the dining room ceiling, the duck head door handles are back in place, the Tiffany glass light fixtures shine again, the mahogany trim and woodwork has been refinished.

A team of researchers has tracked down information to make the restoration accurate, and recent efforts have focused on finding as much of the original furnishings as possible. Mrs. Knight’s 1903 Steinway piano, Mr. Knight’s iron safe and portrait and some of the dining room furniture were some of the only original furnishings left in the house when the restoration began. Since then, many more of the original pieces have been returned. The dining room is furnished as it was originally, including Tiffany sconces and water lily shades.

In 2008, the kitchen was furnished back to the 1920s, including the original Frigidare refrigerator. Visitors can stand in the room and see the old tools used to prepare meals for the large household and guests entertained by the Knights. It offers a real appreciation for the stark differences between performing routine kitchen tasks then and now. There is a Hoosier cabinet in the corner, and the original kitchen table is once again in the center of the room under a pot rack.

An exhibition on display in the basement showcases some of the Knights’ and other owners’ treasured artifacts. The copious research has also turned up much information about the original owners, Edward Collings Knight and Marie Louise LeBel Knight, themselves. New research is also being done to discover where many of the art nouveau details in the house came from. For example, testing has shown that the mahogany door surrounds in the foyer and the dining room and library all came from another building.

The Whalehead Club offers a self-guided, audio tour of the building that takes visitors throughout the living areas, the private rooms, the kitchen, the servants’ quarters and the 6,000-square-foot basement. The tours offer a wealth of information about the architectural style of the house, the first owners, the history of Corolla and the northern Outer Banks and the transforming restoration of the home. Kids ages 10 to 13 can enjoy the Search & Find Audio Tour.

The Whalehead Club also offers a variety of specialty tours by advance reservation year round. Specialty tours are given on weekdays in season and on Wednesdays only in the off-season. Group discounts are available. Some of the tours include a Children’s Treasure Hunt, a Docent-Led Tour, Behind the Scenes Tour, Nuts and Bolts Tour and a Legends, Lore and Ghosts Tour.

The Museum Shop at the Whalehead Club stocks 1920s-inspired gifts and Whalehead Club souvenirs such as picture frames, jewelry and ornaments made from the original copper roof plus books, postcards and memorabilia.

The Whalehead Club is open year round. From March through November, hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. From December through February hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday (closed Sunday). The cost of the Standard Self-Guided Audio Tour is $7 for adults and free for children ages 8 and younger. The Audio Search & Find Tour is also $7. Neither the Standard nor the Search & Find Tours require reservations.

Additionally, a children’s program is offered called “Knight Magic” aimed at ages 5 to 9 for interactive fun with magic each Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. in July and August.
The grounds of Currituck Heritage Park are perfect for a relaxing afternoon outdoors away from the beach. The grounds are also available to rent for weddings and receptions as well as corporate events and family reunions.

Corolla Wild Horses

North of Corolla
Corolla

If you go to the northern reaches of the Currituck Outer Banks, beyond the paved road and into the wilder realms, you’ll likely encounter some of the free-roaming Corolla wild horses. They are descended from the horses of the Conquistadors, brought to the New World from Spain as well as Spanish breeding farms in the West Indies and South America. They were the best horses of that time – a mixture of Spanish Barb, Arabian and Andalusian blood that were the horses of kings and nobility. No other breed played a more important part in building America than the Colonial Spanish Mustang.

Prehistoric horses actually disappeared from North America during the Ice Age. By 8,000 BC the horse had migrated across the Bering Strait and no longer existed in North America until being reintroduced by the Spanish explorers in the late 1400s. Fortunately, the Spaniards kept meticulous ship’s logs. We know that Lucas Vasquez de Allyon sent an expedition to the Cape Fear area of North Carolina in 1521. Ship’s logs also document the Spaniards leaving their horses behind during an Indian uprising as well as numerous accounts of ships running aground and breaking apart with livestock swimming ashore and escaping.

There are about 100 horses freely roaming the 7,550 acres between the end of the paved road and the Virginia state line. Another 10 horses live on a 400-acre private island in the Currituck Sound.
The horses are quite healthy, as they have an adequate supply of naturally occurring fresh water to drink and plenty of grasses to munch on, like saltmeadow hay, witch grasses, cattails, American threesquare, spikerush, black needlerush, common reed grass, young cordgrass, sea oats and beach grass. When the horses eat anything that is not a part of their specialized wild diet, (apples carrots, lettuce, etc.) they are at risk for painful and often fatal colic. It is against the law to feed them.

The Corolla wild horses are recognized as a significant cultural and historical resource by the state of North Carolina. The herd is protected and monitored by the Corolla Wild Horse Fund Inc. of Corolla. To learn more about the horses, visit the Wild Horse Museum or their website. Remember, the horses are wild. It is also against the law to get within 50 feet of them (five car lengths), feed or bother them in any way. Please obey the Wild Horse Ordinance, help to protect the wild horses and admire them from a respectful distance.

Currituck Banks National Estuarine Research Reserve Access Trail

Soundside, End of N.C. Highway 12, north of Corolla
Corolla

This beautiful boardwalk leads two-thirds of a mile from the road to the sound, traversing through maritime evergreen forest, swamp forest and brackish marsh. Along the way, you’ll see live oaks and loblolly pines, yaupon, holly, bayberry and wax myrtle, plus, closer to the water, sedges, cattails, black needle rush and giant cord grass. You may see signs of animals, like scat or tracks, or possibly the animals themselves. Birders love this boardwalk because it gives them the ability to go deep into several habitats without getting so mucky.

Along the boardwalk are a couple of places to rest and an information kiosk. In addition, there are six new interpretive signs along the route that explain barrier island ecology. At the end, the boardwalk has bench seats that look out over a creek and the sound with the final informational panel. It’s serene, quiet and absolutely beautiful on the soundside.

Part of the North Carolina Estuarine Research Reserve, this 960-acre area is protected in its natural state for use as a natural laboratory. Much of the land in this area is protected. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages the 4,000-acre Currituck Banks National Wildlife Refuge north of here for waterfowl, wading birds and shorebirds.

Currituck Beach Lighthouse

1101 Corolla Village Road, Currituck Heritage Park
Corolla
(252) 453-4939

The red-brick Currituck Beach Lighthouse towers above the northern Outer Banks landscape in the historic Corolla Village. Visitors can climb the winding staircase, 214 steps in all, to the top of the lighthouse for a panoramic view of Currituck Sound, the Atlantic Ocean and the Currituck Outer Banks. Inside the lighthouse, at the base and on the first two landings, there are museum-quality lighthouse exhibits. On the way up or down, stop to learn about the history of coastal lighthouses, the Fresnel lens and the lighthouse keepers.

The 162-foot lighthouse was first lit on December 1, 1875. Onsite keepers, who lived in the surrounding buildings, operated the lighthouse until it was automated in 1939. With automation, the lighthouse no longer required a regular keeper. The lighthouse and its outbuildings fell into disrepair for 40 years until a nonprofit group called Outer Banks Conservationists (OBC) stepped in to save the lighthouse in the 1980s. OBC renovated the keepers’ buildings to re-create their past glories and restored the lighthouse to make it safe to climb. In July 2003, The U.S. Department of the Interior awarded OBC ownership of the lighthouse.

It costs only $7 to climb the lighthouse, and children ages 7 and younger climb for free. The lighthouse is open daily from Easter through Thanksgiving. Climbing hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on Thursdays in the summer. During extreme weather, the lighthouse is closed to climbing.

The nearby Double Keepers’ House is not open to the public, but it makes for great photographs. You can go inside the small Keeper’s House, which was transformed into the Museum Shop and stocks everything lighthouse-related you could ever imagine. T-shirts, hats, books, postcards, blankets, taffy, ornaments, jewelry, magnets, figurines and more fill this former keeper’s residence.
