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.
• Anyone operating a vehicle on the northern
beaches must hold a valid driver’s license
and all vehicles shall be properly registered
and insured.
• Gas tanks should be full before driving on 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 on the foreshore adjacent to
the water’s edge. All vehicles are required to
park on the beach strand centered between the
drive lanes, and both drive lanes shall remain
free of chairs, coolers and beach items at all
times. Beginning the Friday before Memorial
Day through Labor Day, a county issued beach
parking permit must be displayed on visitors'
vehicles that wish to park on the 4WD beach.
In addition, from 9 AM till 5 PM daily, driving
is prohibited on the foreshore between Mile
Post 14 and Mile Post 17, with the exception of
emergency vehicles. For details and additional
information on obtaining a beach parking
permit, please visit parkingonthebeach.com or
call 252-435-2947.
• 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.
