Things to do in Corolla, North Carolina (NC): The Best Gear Rentals

August 1, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

You won’t find superstores or theme parks in Corolla. What you will find is a slow-paced vacation destination with vast, isolated stretches of beach. Corolla is the perfect place to gear down, relax and forget about your hurried life back home. While quiet dinners and strolls on the beach are mainstays of Corolla’s lifestyle, other more action-oriented recreation options include kayak tours, Jet Ski rentals, deep-sea fishing charters, and go-karting. No visit to Corolla is complete without climbing the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, a 158-foot high structure built in 1875 that still flashes at 20-second intervals to warn ships hugging the chain of barrier islands. Next on the must see list is the Whalehead Club, a 21,000-square-foot Art Nouveau home that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A truly unique experience in Corolla is taking a tour of the Spanish Mustang Reserve, where you can see wild Spanish Mustang horses grazing in their natural habitat. Horse lovers will also enjoy the Corolla Wild Horse Museum located within the restored schoolhouse of Corolla Village. Kids have an opportunity to paint their own wild Colonial Spanish Mustang. For some great family fun, play the Grass Course, a miniature golf course on all natural grass.

This is the 2nd year we have used this company for umbrellas and beach chairs, they provide an individual who puts up and takes down the equipment each day of your visit--in our case 2 weeks. The service of this young man was outstanding--and it's not easy work! Strongly recommend them for any beach equipment rentals or service. 4 Stars,

My boyfriend and I rented two bikes for an afternoon and rode up to the VA state line on the 4x4 beach and explored the neighborhoods behind the dunes. Mac and Harry provided great customer service and dropped off the bikes at our rental home in Ocean Hill. Would definitely recommend this mode of travel to ride on the beach and see the wild horses (was absolutely worth the extra fee to take them out on the beach) Hint: recommend checking tide schedule if you plan on riding on the beach.
