Do you remember the long gone days of summers on the Outer Banks before the hotels and award winning chefs? Do you remember checking the list of what not to forget to take along? Do you remember anxiously packing provisions for your commune with sun, sea, sand and that telltale tan of having vacationed at the beach? For a glimpse of how the Outer Banks used to be, book a vacation cottage in Carova. Relive those memories in the four-wheel drive community of Carova, which can only be accessed by boat or by four-wheel drive vehicle. There are no paved roads. Follow N.C. 12 north through Corolla to the end of the road, take a left, and drive up the beach.Lat/Lon: 36.5° N 75.8° WVacation Main
