Corolla Beach
Corolla, NC
The northernmost stretch of the Outer Banks, reachable only by four-wheel-drive beyond the paved road, where wild colonial Spanish mustangs still roam the dunes.
A standard car will not make it past the paved road. You need a permitted four wheel drive vehicle to continue north.
