Carova Beach, North Carolina
- Carova Beach, North Carolina
Carova Beach or Carova is an unincorporated community in Currituck County in the extreme northeast corner of North Carolina, USA. The community, which is found on Bodie Island, can only be accessed by boat or by four-wheel drive vehicle since there are no paved roads connecting Carova Beach to either neighboring settlements Virginia Beach, Virginia or Corolla, North Carolina. Four-wheel drive vehicles drive north along the beach from Corolla into the community.
The community's name derived from the combination of the first syllables of "Carolina" and "Virginia" since the coastal community lies just south of the North Carolina-Virginia state line. Thus, it is the northernmost of the Outer Banks communities of North Carolina.
Wild horses and other wildlife roam freely on the beaches of Carova. There is an enforced law on the beach that states that no one is to get within 50 feet of the horses. Commercialism is absent from this section of the outer banks; there are no restaurants, shops, or other attractions that often accompany beach communities. There are many beach homes, however, and developers continue to build in the area.
