A Bit of Corolla Info

Although Corolla has gained national attention as one of America’s best-secluded beaches, Corolla still retains its small beach-town charm that attracted Outer Banks visitors in the first place. For vacationing families who want plenty of sand to spread out on, but would like to still enjoy the amenities of a resort beach community, Corolla is an ideal vacation destination.

Our small-town beach community combines all the best elements of a five-star resort vacation, while still encompassing that laid-back Outer Banks style that embraces the best beach life. With minimal development but lots of amenities, Corolla is perfect for those who want to get away from it all, but still enjoy all the best diningshopping, water sports, and amenities that the Outer Banks has to offer.

Corolla is known for its miles of beaches, as well as its array of restaurants, shops, and historic attractions. Corolla is also the home of several popular Outer Banks attractions, including the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, the Whalehead Club, the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education, and the Wild Horse Museum.

Corolla is located in the northernmost region of the Outer Banks, just north of the town of Duck, and just south of the 4WD beaches of Carova. It is part of Currituck County and is accessible via North CrolinaHighway 12 North.

Here, on the northern tip of North Carolina’s Outer Banks, you can explore miles of windswept remote beaches, the legendary Corolla wild horses, and many iconic historical sites.

Oh, and one last thing, it’s “Cor-rah-la”, not “Cuh-roll-uh”

In the grand scheme of things, this is probably the least important, but it’s worth noting that the pronunciation is a bit different than what it may look like at face value. It may be spelled the same as the popular Toyota sedan, but locals and frequent visitors know it’s a bit different.

As we go through life, we often find ourselves faced with moments of indecision, where we must choose between moving forward or staying put. Sometimes, it can be difficult to find the motivation to move forward, especially when we feel stuck in a rut. In these moments, it can be helpful to remember the importance of discipline and how it can help us achieve our goals.

I recently had an experience that reminded me of this lesson. While driving home from swimming in Allentown, Pennsylvania a few weeks ago, I saw a captivating image on the side of the road. Initially, I passed it by, but I felt a sense of guilt for my moment of laziness. I knew that if I didn’t turn around and go back, I wouldn’t be moving forward.

As music producer Rick Rubin once said, “The discipline is the thing that allows us to get to where we want to go.” This quote resonated with me as I contemplated the importance of discipline in achieving our goals. It’s easy to get caught up in our own complacency and become stagnant. However, by exercising discipline, we can push ourselves out of our comfort zones and make progress towards our aspirations.

The lesson here is that discipline is essential for success in all areas of life. Whether you’re pursuing a personal passion or a professional goal, discipline is the key to moving forward. Even when we feel like we’re in a rut, it’s important to remember that every small step counts towards progress.

In conclusion, the experience of seeing that captivating image on the side of the road reminded me of the importance of discipline in achieving our goals. Moving forward requires discipline, and while it may not always be easy, it is always worth it in the end. So let’s all strive to exercise discipline in our lives and move forward towards our goals, one step at a time.

But let me tell you, it’s a full time job. Pay attention, don’t follow leaders and be sure to watch the parking meters.

As for your health being everything… Either you know this already or will learn this. It’s life. You live, you die, but you don’t want to do so prematurely.

Enjoy your loved ones, ignore the rest, and see you all again soon.
