Carova Beach
North Beach Access, public NC 12 beach ramp reference, Corolla, NC 27927
About this trail
Carova is a four-wheel-drive beach area north of Corolla, reached at the public North Beach Access ramp where NC 12 ends. Soft sand, tides and changing conditions require a registered, insured 4WD vehicle. Use the county-designated driving lanes and check current restrictions before travel. The map marks the public ramp, not the original northern beach pin. The gallery is a historical community photo; it does not establish current parking permission or conditions. Surf driving and access across private dunes or back roads are not authorized.
