Whalehead Tours

Whether you're dipping a toe in the water or playing sports on the shore, Whalehead is the perfect place to enjoy some quality family time. Why not pack a picnic and make a day of it?

Whalehead is an ideal place to start out your day in Corolla Light. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here.

The elevator was broken. We were told that had been struck by lightning. I was also told that it had been broken for one year. They have three floors almost 2 of the buildings and I think two on the other, but I don’t know if they meant elevators in the building that we were in or every single one wasn’t clarified also told that they were having a New Year’s Eve celebration. Nothing was held in the lobby as previously expected the restaurant on site closed at 9 PM New Year’s Eve and we were rushed like you wouldn’t believe for six course meal that cost $300.
