We used a gopro and a dji drone. Crazy how good the video is on these small, relatively inexpensive devises. This is such a great beach area. The road ends in Corolla and from there the only access is up the beach. Once you enter that area there are houses in the dunes and the horses wandering freely. I've seen them playing in the ocean as well. It's a pretty wonderful experience. Hope you get a chance to go sometime.
That house that sits ON the beach is so funny to me. Like how did they get permission to build there since thats technically a road? The property owners must have owned that for a long time
Awesome video!! I came across your video while searching Corolla. I am going down at the end of this month. Do you have to drive far up that beach to see the horses? We are guessing that the tours will not be running due to 'Rona and not sure the car we rented will do the drive on the sand.
It is quite the drive. The first mile or so on the beach is a no-stopping zone. All the houses etc. are farther north and that's where you can drive up over the dunes into the trails. Sometimes you will see them playing in the water and other times you have to get up in the trails to see them. I think you may find a tour. Pretty sure you can also rent a jeep to go up there on your own. It's a pretty amazing place. Enjoy and best of luck. You definitely want a vehicle that has 4 wheel drive. That sand can get pretty soft in places. Also watch out for stumps sticking up out of the sand. That first mile has the remnants of an ancient cypress forest and the stumps can sneak up on you.
I'm here now with a four wheeler, do u know if I can get a permit to ride. It's Sunday night and it's killing to know. I brought it from Ohio. Always been a dream to ride along the ocean.
Mike Belmonte is it an ATV or a 4 wheel drive road certified vehicle. I don't know the rules around an ATV but I don't think they are allowed. For a 4 wheel drive vehicle you don't need a permit in Corolla. You would in Hatteras National Seashore but not Corolla. Go have fun! Enjoy
Two years after the fact is a little late, but if you're out there again, the 4x4 beaches north of Corolla (Swan Beach, Carova Beach, Penny's Hill, etcetera) are open to 4wd licensed vehicular traffic with licensed drivers, no permit required. However, for an ATV you must be a property owner in the 4x4 beach area. ATV's from away are not permitted, and Currituck County's finest are on the beach, they will ticket you. Outsiders ruined it for us all getting carried away, trespassing and being a nuisance so now only property owners can get an ATV permit. There was a time when there were dune buggies, sand rails and dirt bikes up there but no more. It's all been constrained. Stay on the roads and lanes, don't go hooning around back in the dunes.
❤Thank you for sharing love you all God bless you
We went there in August 2019 ,It's a very nice place, We took the tour up the see the wild horses.Nice video with a very good perspective.

The drone vid really puts it in perspective, so enjoyed the ride!! Thanks so much for uploading, relaxing to watch and listen to.

I did not know there are wild horses there. Your video camera takes great videos. What brand did you use? Keep the fun going!

Only certain vehicles are allowed, I believe this may be allowable for up to a few hours, its $50 for ten days
