Corolla, Outer Banks

Location

At the northern end of the Outer Banks — quieter, less crowded, and surrounded by landmarks you won't find anywhere else.

Where We Are

Corolla Light Resort, Corolla NC

Shore Nuff sits inside Corolla Light Resort at 1122 Currituck Court (Unit 612) — one of the Outer Banks' most amenity-rich communities, stretching from the ocean to the sound.

Corolla sits at the northern end of the Outer Banks barrier island chain. The paved road ends just north of town, where wild Colonial Spanish mustangs roam the beach freely and the crowds thin out considerably.

The beach walkway is approximately 600 feet from the front door. You can also reach the ocean through the oceanfront complex, which has three pools, a restaurant, and courts — all part of your resort access.
