    Stairs to on of the many secluded vacation rental houses
    Rebecca F.

    Corolla (pronounced: "Kuh-RAH-Luh") is one of the most popular beaches in North Carolina's Outer Banks. Its has 24 miles of unspoiled shoreline & the communities are charming & the vibes are always good! There is private beach access in front of every little community or if you want to have a good day adventure then drive to where the road ends & and you can go to the 4-wheel drive secluded beach. Just north of Corolla 4x4 vehicles can access the beach at the Northern end of NC 12 where the paved road ends. 4WD beach is a whole other world but you MUST be in a 4WD vehicle & you MUST purchase a permit, which costs $50/week, but that's the only way they sell the permits. You can purchase the permit on the Currituck County website. This hidden beach is best known for its remoteness and the one-of-a-kind wild Spanish mustangs. There is twelve miles of pristine 4WD beach & more than 7,000 acres of wilderness. Behind the dune line are rental homes & in front is nothing but sun, sand, & a gorgeous secluded beach. Ok, no more writing... time to chillax because the beach is calling! Cheers peeps!

    8/25/22 From Virginia Beach to North Carolina Outer Banks, the areas are lovely. Virginia Beach is closer to home, but the extra 3 hours to get to North Carolina Outer Banks makes the trip worth it. Whether you stopping at the Headlights OBX Gentleman's Club or driving on down to Henry's Restaurant. Your in for a treat. If you are into walking around Jockey's Ridge State Park In Nag's Head, you are bound to come across people hang gliding on the sandy dunes. Be warned, the sand can get hot and there are small cactus balls that can attach to you. If you wish to see horses, you just might seem them in Corolla. You might see elk too. One of the best things to do is drive on the ocean sands. You will need the proper vicheles for this experience or you will get stuck in the sand. If you are feeling very brave, check out the area where the ocean meets the sound. YOU WILL need good clearance on your vehicle if you wish to do this. It is one place I have not experienced that I can truly remember. I use to have beach house called Ebony and Ivory in the C Section of Corolla. I remember when much of the land was developed in the 1980's and how I have seen it grow over time. I remember how when I loved swimming in the ocean even during the most dangerous times...Or at least I wanted to. I remember as a kid wondering what it would be like to skinny dip in the ocean, but never got my chance till decades later. It is quiet the experience swimming in the ocean at night in the nude, but very fulfilling. One check mark off my bucket list. Golf and Miniture Golf are another popular thing to do in the Outer Banks. If you have kids, golf and water slides can be an attraction to some kids. You might even find actual video game arcades in some places of the Outer Banks. The one thing I highly recommend is trying out Parasailing in the sound before eating at The Blue Point. You might even do a little shopping in the shopping area too. Whatever you desire, I have done all over these except for the one I mentioned earlier on. If I did go there, I don't remember it. Take a trip to the Outer Banks and enjoy your time here. I hope to go back and visit here next month. Time will tell:) Last time we were here was July 2020. We are overdue for a return trip.

    Excellent food. My husband had the shrimp basket with fries and I had the crabby wings. Both were…read moredelicious and we would definitely order again. Jeannette was our waitress. She checked in a couple of times but wasn't overbearing. The restaurant is bright and clean. Jeannette quickly cleaned off the tables as other customers left.

    Sadly, not the best experience. My suggestion to Ike's is to use your resources (staff) better…read more The food took forever to arrive, and when it did, it wasn't our order. The ladies bathroom had no soap left in the dispenser nor paper towels nor an air dryer .... When the right order arrived, it was delicious and we appreciated the food. We had to flag down our waitress who was also the bartender to pay. We were clearly done for a bit and it was frustrating to have to wait and then finally just get up and go over to get the ticket. A lot more attention was being paid to the bar patrons than we were offered. Finally, when we were leaving, my grandson held the door open for the group of ladies in their 80's that were entering the restaurant. The THREE staff members holding down the hostess station yelled at him to shut the door. Seriously? So my suggestion is to teach your staff to pay attention to your customers more frequently while dining, clean the restroom SEVERAL times a day, and discover that being kind to your elders is a sign of respect. How about coming from behind that desk and assisting the patrons in vs yelling at someone who's trying to help them into your establishment. It's too bad because we liked the food- but we won't be back after the experience.
