The Most Private Beach on the East Coast
Why the 4x4 Zone
What Makes This Beach Different
Zero Public Access
The only way onto this beach is a 4WD vehicle or our shuttle. No crowds. Your private beach stays private.
Wild Corolla Mustangs
Colonial Spanish mustangs found nowhere else on the OBX. Sightings from the estate decks are frequent at dawn and dusk.
Pristine, Undeveloped Coast
No restaurants, no shops, no noise. Just eleven miles of open Atlantic and the dunes behind you.
We Make Access Easy
We have guided hundreds of groups in. Whatever your vehicle situation, we have a solution and will walk you through it.
Three Access Options: Find Your Scenario
Scenario 1: The Simplest Path
