Outer Banks 4x4 Beaches


Just south of the Virginia border, this fourteen-mile stretch of beach is collectively known as, "The 4 x 4 Beaches."  There are no paved roads, no shops and no restaurants.  A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required, as you must actually drive on the beach to access vacation homes.  This uncomplicated area is made up of dense maritime forests, marshy soundside coves and protected nature preserves.  Home to the wild horses of Currituck County, the extraordinary possibility of catching a glimpse of these unique creatures is practically commonplace. 

One of the last and least developed areas of the Outer Banks, homes range greatly in size, available amenities and cost.  This unique coastal area is the perfect vacation spot for those seeking a more adventurous getaway.
