Currituck County, North Carolina

Currituck Location Map North Carolina

Currituck County stretches along the northeastern coast of North Carolina, bordering Virginia. It’s a place of contrasts. The mainland is all farmland and small towns.

Corolla is home to wild horses and is a big draw for tourists. Currituck is the county seat but it has never officially been incorporated. Hunting and fishing are popular here. Always have been.

The Outer Banks is a paradise for beaches. The Currituck Beach Lighthouse still stands tall, guiding ships along the coast. It’s quieter in the off-season. That’s when you really get a feel for local life.
