@Shelter

Planning a trip to Outer Banks in the fall. Can you advise best places to see the wild horses? And other must-sees?

Coming from Asheville in my van

@LnzyHou @Shelter Just got back home from there last night. Went on one of the several “wild horse tours”. $56 for a two hour tour. Rules:1. do not get within 50 feet. 2. Do not drive on beach unless you have a real 4 wheel drive ( saw one van get stuck).

Did not see horses running on the beach per brochures. We did see several horses (12-15 in total in small groups) one foal in resident’s yards or on the side of roads.
munching away on the scant grass.

It’s Humidity+hot there.

@LnzyHou @Shelter You may have better luck with the horses on the actual beach early in the morning or the last tour that started around 5:30.

It was a bumpy ride so if you have back issues, it is not recommended. ( also pregnancy )

@ACG2 @Shelter

Which beach?

@LnzyHou @Shelter Corolla and Corova Beaches. There were a whole bunch of people on the beaches (on a Monday!) and some sad to say #Maga flags.

https://seecorollawildhorses/ Is the tour we took. We drove for quite a long time on the beach.

@LnzyHou @Shelter We stayed in Kitty Hawk so we had a long 45 mi Ute drive north to see the horses. I think for what we got, the price was higher than the value, but supporting local business and such. There was a ghost crab hunt we did for only $15 per person that was SO much fun.
