Corolla, NC

Corolla is a peaceful, upscale town of only 500 residents. Since the main source of income for the township is tourism, the population can easily double or triple during the summer. It is important to book your stay far in advance. For cheaper rates and greater availability of hotel reservations, check out Corolla outside of the peak vacation months.

This is a great destination for those seeking quiet relaxation and beautiful scenery. Several unique activities are available for tourists to check out, and nearly all emphasize exploring the natural beauty of the area.

Unique things to do:

• An unusual perk of touring in Corolla is that there are no super stores and major shopping malls. The local culture shines through a shopping scene consisting exclusively of local businesses.
• Fishing is a popular activity in Corolla; consider making a day of off-shore fishing.
• See wild horses in the area by taking a “wild horse safari”. Several businesses in the area offer this service.
