The Northern most area of the Outer Banks is know as Carova, or Swan Beach.  Since there are no paved roads, it is only accessible by four-wheel drive.  This narrow strip of sand is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Currituck Sound making it perfect for water sports, surf fishing or doing absolutely nothing. The area is also renowned for its wild horses.  They are descendants of Spanish Mustangs from the mid-1500's.  Click here to view a video of one traveller's experience with this beautiful stretch of beach.
