Things to do
Corolla is a slow-paced beach community where guests immerse themselves in the area’s small town charm and serene atmosphere, and it’s packed with recreational activities for all to enjoy.

Nearby Whalehead, an expansive mansion-turned-museum, is a stunning Art Nouveau style residence and architectural treasure that dates back to the 1920s. Shrouded in history, romance and mystery, it overlooks the Currituck Sound and is a must-see for all Corolla visitors. Corolla also has several picturesque golf courses that beckon golfers of all skill levels. The Currituck Club is an impressive championship course that winds through tranquil forests and cascading sand dunes, and the ocean breezes at Goose Creek Golf Club challenge golfers on its fairways and greens.
Dining
Fishing in Corolla dates back to the original native tribes and early settlers, and oftentimes, dinner can be as easy as casting a line into the sea and hooking a fish to cook up in Corolla vacation rentals. If you’re up for the challenge, find a quiet fishing pier or head to Currituck Sound for a family crabbing expedition that could result in a delicious feast. Corolla is also known for its upscale dining establishments that don’t disappoint. Eat at the Oceanfront Grille for oceanfront views, fresh local seafood, and signature crab cakes, or head to The Crafty Cow Burger Bar to satisfy your hunger after a day of golfing. Whether you’re still at the beach or don’t want to leave the comfort of one of the many luxurious Corolla beach rentals, you don’t have to stop the party just because you’re hungry. Go to Steamers for gourmet take-out, or have Outer Banks Boil Company come to you with all of the ingredients for a traditional Carolina low-country boil.
