We have a favor to ask…

Now that our local sea turtle nests are starting to hatch, we would like to ask everyone staying in oceanfront properties to turn off any indoor or outdoor lights that may be visible from the beach. We are asking this favor because when the hatchlings emerge from their nests, they are very sensitive to light and can become disoriented and follow these residential lights up into the dunes, rather than head down into the ocean. So could you please help us ensure that all our local hatchlings safely make it into the ocean and turn off all outdoor lights on decks and pools, and close the blinds or drapes on all levels of your house after dark ?

Thank you very much for your help.

please read thanks

Hip hip hooray! It's World Sea Turtle Day! 🐢

Here are some ways you can help protect these special creatures today and every day:

*Take all of your trash and beach equipment with you when you leave the beach.

*Bring an extra bag to the beach and remove trash and plastic when you see it.

*Recycle used fishing line in appropriate receptacles.

*Decrease your use of artificial light as much as is safely possible. If you are staying in an oceanfront property, you can close blinds and turn off unnecessary outside lights at nighttime. You can also decrease light pollution at home by installing outdoor lights that point light downward, not outward, and by using a less powerful lamp or bulb.

*If you're visiting Cape Hatteras National Seashore and come across a sea turtle or evidence of sea turtle activity, please call Seashore park staff at: (252) 216-6892.

*Symbolically adopt an active sea turtle at Cape Hatteras National Seashore through our Adopt A Sea Turtle Nest program! Your support will fund projects and educational programs that protect and enhance the Seashore today and for future generations ⬇

Please don’t feed the horses

As Memorial Day Weekend approaches, visitors and locals alike are reminded to stay at least fifty-feet away from the horses they might encounter during their trip to the beach and that feeding them is absolutely prohibited.

Author JD Wise's new children's book "Mandie the Outer Banks Mysterious Unicorn" provides uplifting messages of kindness and inclusion through the journey of its mystical main character—a wild mustang inhabiting the beaches of Corolla.

Thanks. We had a great time and your place was perfect

Good morning! We had so much fun. We are already talking about how we would love to come back!

28/05/2021

you, we , all of us. want to come see the beaches, and all God glory and yet, you drive on the beach, kill the animals , leave your cigarette butts, and trash on the beach, do you treat your house that way, your yard. !!!!!!! really ppl we are to take care or what God has given us to enjoy.
Come to the beach, enjoy, just leave it better than when you came. leave the animals alone, and pick up your trash. the fish dont want your plastic bottles, your butts, your trash for breakfast. Maybe that is what you like to eat?

***Please read the entire post before commenting or sharing. A horse has NOT died recently. We are using Two Sox’s death in *2013* as an example of why it’s so important to drive carefully and be aware of your surroundings. Media outlets, please be responsible when sharing this. Again, a horse has NOT died recently. This is simply a PSA.***

On May 26, 2013 at 11pm, the magnificent stallion Two Sox was tragically hit and killed while standing on the beach. As we head into this year’s Memorial Day weekend, and the official start of the summer season, we'd like to remind everyone visiting the 4x4 to please drive safely. Please do not speed, and absolutely do not drink and drive. You put yourself, other drivers, beach-goers, and the horses in danger.

Information on beach driving: https://co.currituck.nc.us/beach-parking/currituck-outer-banks-beach-driving/

Remember, it's illegal to come within 50ft of the horses. Do not approach, entice, or harass them - bring a zoom lens and enjoy the horses in all their wild glory! They may often look docile but they are wild and can be unpredictable and dangerous. And never forget, apples and carrots can and will kill them. We lost a yearling c**t last summer when he choked on an apple someone fed him.

Currituck County wild horse ordinance:https://www.corollawildhorses.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/wild-horse-ordinance.pdf

We know this isn't the most uplifting Friday post but it's imperative that visitors to the Carova area understand how critical it is to follow the laws and respect the horses' space. Your life, and the lives of the horses, could very well depend on it. Let's have a safe, fun, and uneventful summer!

(Before a ton of comments get posted - the beach here is a road. It is the only way residents and renters can get to their homes. Beach traffic is a part of life here, and always has been. Arguing about whether or not traffic should be allowed on the beach is not productive and takes away from the message we are trying to get across. Thank you for keeping your comments respectful.)

Folks, this is not ok. These people are too close to the horses and they’re damaging our dunes. Both are illegal. If you are here for the week or visiting for the day, please be respectful and follow the rules. The horse in this picture is young, and easily habituated. We lost a yearling c**t this summer because of behavior like this. Please don’t let it happen again.

Here’s the Wild Horse Ordinance:https://www.corollawildhorses.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/wild-horse-ordinance.pdf

Please, please educate yourselves before you visit. We don’t often have to post reminders like this over the winter, but 2020 continues to throw us all curve balls.

(Yes we responded but by the time we got there the people had moved on. If you witness this kind of thing you can let us know and also call Currituck County non-emergency dispatch at 252-232-2216)
