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. Allow some time for other sights like Currituck Beach Lighthouse, Currituck Beach and Corolla Adventure Golf and Bumper Cars to really experience what's on offer in the area.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)
The view was all worth it!!! The room was ok, but had to request towels as none in the room. Did not give any directions at check-in as far as where anything was. The tvs were both terrible with lines in both. Checkout was great, they gave me door key as we were still parking there and just spending some time on the beach.
