Historic
Corolla
Village
Unlike most places on the
Outer Banks, Historic Corolla
Village is a pedestrian
experience with many
significant landmarks within
walking distance of one
another: Currituck Beach
Lighthouse, Whalehead,
Corolla schoolhouse and the
Corolla chapel.
Walk down the narrow
roads and pause to listen,
read the signage
about the
buildings, go
inside. Coming
to these landmarks
helps
visitors connect
to the original
and current
inhabitants.
While the Village, as locals
call it, has food and shopping,
it’s far from a shopping center.
All the shop owners know and
easily share their stories. The
stores are unique. What they
sell gives you a sense of place
as well as community.
This place reflects a
simpler time. Life slows
under a canopy of live oaks.
During the school year, kids
ring the school bell at 3:30 as
they’re dismissed from the
K-7, multi-aged classroom.
Everyone in Corolla Village
hears that and understands
the link between what is, was,
and will be.
6 On the Beach
Unique
Shopping Stately live oak trees line narrow streets
and unpaved roads where homes dating
from the late 19th to early 20th century
are now shops and businesses supplying
everything from books to barbecue to
the latest fashion.

Station
