    Pass through this quiet residential Outer Banks community between Kitty Hawk and Duck. Its tree-lined setting and preserved maritime landscape give it a different character from the busier beach towns nearby.

11. Stop 11 · 5 min

    Continue through the popular coastal town of Duck, known for Currituck Sound views, shopping, restaurants, and outdoor recreation. It is one of the main communities along the northern Outer Banks route.

    Stretch your legs along this scenic soundside boardwalk and park. Enjoy waterfront views, nature trails, shops, restaurants, and easy access to the heart of Duck.

13. Stop 13 · 5 min

    Enjoy views across this broad, shallow sound stretching along the northern Outer Banks. Its low-salinity waters provide habitat for fish and impressive birdlife such as great egrets and great blue herons.

14. Stop 14 · 5 min

    Discover thousands of acres of protected coastal habitat supporting hundreds of bird species. A public nature trail offers opportunities for wildlife viewing, while access to the gated sanctuary itself requires advance arrangements.

15. Stop 15 · 5 min

    Enter this historic northern Outer Banks community known for its beaches, watersports, maritime history, and famous herd of wild Spanish mustangs. The town grew from a small fishing settlement into one of the region’s most popular destinations.

16. Stop 16 · 5 min

    Visit a striking 22,000-square-foot Art Nouveau mansion built in the 1920s as an elaborate private hunting retreat. Today, visitors can tour the restored house and learn about the wealthy Knight family and Corolla’s hunting-club era.

17. Stop 17 · 5 min

    See Corolla’s distinctive 162-foot red-brick lighthouse, completed in 1875 to illuminate a dangerous stretch of the North Carolina coast. Its original first-order Fresnel lens remains an active aid to navigation. The grounds are free, but climbing the lighthouse currently requires paid admission.

18. Stop 18 · 5 min

    Learn about this historic life-saving station established after a series of deadly Outer Banks shipwrecks. The restored station is also connected with local stories about unexplained activity and the legendary ghost known as “Mose.” The site is in the northern 4WD beach area and is not a conventional public paid-admission attraction.

19. Stop 19 · 5 min

    Finish the tour at the wide sandy shoreline of Corolla, famous for coastal scenery and nearby wild-horse habitat. The road eventually reaches the 4WD beach, so vehicles that continue onto the sand should be suitable for off-road conditions. There is no beach entrance fee, although a seasonal parking permit may be required if you park in the 4WD area.
