We are staying the lady week if June, We were wondering if fishing was allowed on yhe beach? Thanks
Fishing is allowed throughout the Currituck Banks ocean-facing beaches and in the Currituck Sound. A saltwater fishing license is required for anglers over the age of 16 to fish in the Atlantic Ocean, and a freshwater license may be required to fish in the Currituck Sound. Consult a local tackle shop in Corolla for details, and to obtain the appropriate license.

Are dogs allowed off leash on North Swan Beach?
That's a great question, Stephanie. Each town has its own laws and regulations for pets on the beach. The rules for the 4X4 beach area, where this home is located, require dogs to be on a leash at all times (when not in the water), but there is no regulation or length designation.

Beach Warning Flags
During dangerous surf conditions, red "No Swimming" flags fly at beach entrances. Whenever red flags are flying, swimming is prohibited. At such times, ocean conditions have been determined to be unsafe and swimmers are at serious risk of injury or death if they enter the water. For your safety, please heed all red flag warnings.
Ocean Safety
Rip Currents
Rip currents are fast-moving currents of water that can quickly pull even the strongest swimmers away from the shore. Since the current flows under water, it’s important to know the signs of a rip current and avoid the water in that area.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), indicators of rip currents include:
Be sure to read lifeguard stand signs when arriving at the beach. If you see warning signs of rip currents or moderate or high hazard flags, stay out of the water and alert others to do the same. If caught in a rip current, you should stay calm to conserve energy. Don’t try to fight the current. Instead, swim with the current, and swim toward shore once you’re out of the current.
General Beach Safety
The fun begins where the road ends on this unique stretch of Outer Banks shoreline just south of the Virginia border. A four-wheel drive vehicle and an adventurous spirit are required to explore this beach community, where there are no paved roads, no hotels or restaurants, not even a convenience store! What you’ll find is an uncomplicated, fourteen-mile expanse of wide, sandy beaches, dense maritime forests and marshy soundside coves.
Home to the Corolla wild horses, the possibility of catching a glimpse of these extraordinary creatures is practically commonplace. Keep in mind, they are wild - do not approach them. County ordinance states that you may not come within 50 feet of the horses at any time. Feeding, riding or petting a wild horse is prohibited. A wild horse sighting is always an exciting event, but please remember to use caution and keep your distance.
