Carova Beach, North Carolina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carova Beach or Carova is an unincorporated community in Currituck County in the extreme northeast corner of North Carolina, USA. The community, which is found on Bodie Island, can only be accessed by boat or by four-wheel drive vehicle since there are no paved roads connecting Carova Beach to either neighboring settlements Virginia Beach, Virginia or Corolla, North Carolina. Four-wheel drive vehicles drive north along the beach from Corolla into the community.

The community's name derived from the combination of the first syllables of Carolina and Virginia since the coastal community lies just south of the North Carolina-Virginia state line. Thus, it is the northernmost of the Outer Banks communities. (If you ignore the fact that Sandbridge, VA is part of the Outer Banks)

You can see wild horses and other wildlife roaming freely on the beaches of Carova.
