COROLLA HISTORY

Corolla, originally named for a small village surrounding the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, has recently grown into a thriving vacation destination. Corolla includes the area between the Dare County line and the end of the paved road, just before the four wheel drive access. Until 1984, only landowners could access Corolla. When the gates were removed, the major development began, and lavish vacation homes in thoughtfully planned developments were built. Most people visit Corolla for the miles of beautiful beaches, however, there are many other attractions for visitors to enjoy. The Whalehead Club is located at Currituck Heritage Park along with the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education and the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. Just north of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse is old Corolla village where you can take a stroll and discover quaint shops and the Corolla Wild Horse Museaum. The Corolla wild horses, which roam free in the four-wheel drive area, are perhaps the most famous Corolla attraction.
