Driving on the Beach
Visitors to the Currituck Outer Banks are
welcome to enjoy driving on the most northern
beaches as long as they travel via four-wheeldrive
(4WD) vehicle and follow the established
laws. Driving on the beach is a unique
experience and requires drivers to take many
safety measures. Here are a few things to keep
in mind while driving on the northern beaches.
• All vehicles must be registered, properly
licensed and insured.
• Gas tanks should be full before driving
onto the beach. There are no gas stations on
the beach.
• Currituck County requires that you air
down your tires to 15-20 psi in a legal
parking area before approaching the beach
ramp entrance.
• Do not stop or park in the beach ramp
entrance area. Use 4WD onto the ramp and
maintain a slow, steady speed, watching for
pedestrians at all times.
• Parking is not allowed on the beach until
you reach milepost 14, which is 1.5 miles
north of the entry point to the beaches.
• The speed limit on the beach is 35 mph.
When traveling within 300 feet of any
person, the speed limit is 15 mph.
• Driving lanes in the 4WD area are located
along the dune line and adjacent to the
water’s edge with parking allowed between
these two lanes. From the Friday before
Memorial Day through Labor Day, a county
issued beach parking permit must be
displayed on visitors' vehicles that wish
to park in the 4WD area. During this time
frame, permitted vehicles shall be parked
adjacent to the water’s edge, and driving
lanes will be along the dune line and in
the middle of the beach. For details and
information on obtaining a beach parking
permit, please visit parkingonthebeach.com
or call 252-435-2947.
• Parked vehicles and personal property must
be kept between the driving lanes at all times.
• All equipment must be removed from the
beach each night before sunset.
• Always remember to watch for pedestrians
and horses while driving on the beach.
