Carova, Seaside Simplicity – on of theTop 10 Secluded Beaches in the US

We love Carova, it is past Corolla on the Outer Banks of NC. The only way to get there is by sand road, which makes it deserted and remote. The untouched sand, gorgeous greenery and long deserted beaches make me remember why I moved to the Outer Banks. This couple stayed 10 miles up this road, NOBODY was around.

Carova Beach, North Carolina
This barrier beach covers the upper stretches of the Outer Banks, North Carolina, and is the most undeveloped of an already spartan beach chain. Part of what keeps the region mellow is the lack of paved roads, with Highway 12 stopping north of Corolla. Four-wheel drive is a must, as the only route to these secluded U.S. beaches is a ride on the sand or a primitive system of dirt roads connecting vacation homes in the wooded interior. Drive slowly to see the wild horses (some are descendants of shipwrecked Spanish mustangs) that roam the protected dunes.
Although it doesn't match the above photos, I just had to put in this tid-bit. The groom wanted a Ken and Barbie look for his cake topper. Rene Landry from Blooms went for it, using pink sparkles for bathing suits. This Ken and Barbie cake topper photo made it to her Naughty Florist website, show us more, Rene, we love it!
