Welcome to Back Beach Wild Horse Tours in Corolla. Out tours embark from Corolla, the last outpost before the road ends into nothing but stretches of wide beach. We provide safe family fun to see the Corolla Wild Horses, descendants of the Spanish Mustangs brought to the New World by explorers as long ago as the early 1500s. Because we go to their native habitat, you have the chance to experience much more than just a tour to see these majestic beings; you also get stories about the history of this area, a chance to learn about the other wild animals and vegetation of this area…and sometimes even a pirate tale or two! Our guides are entertainers as well as expert horse spotters, and they know how to keep your entire crew engaged and interested, whether they’re little tykes or seasoned travelers.

Enjoy our open air Safari-style vehicle. Fun and safe for all ages; yes, even kids in car seats can go on this trip. Back Beach has large capacity vehicles with seating for up to 14 people. All our trucks transition easily from beach driving to the network of sandy roads and up over dunes. Lots of our guests have said that just the experience of riding with the wind in their hair through the beauty of this wild, open area was a great part of their horse tour.

Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum

Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum

More than 2,000 shipwrecks sunk off the Coast of North Carolina in what’s called the Graveyard of the Atlantic. With all that history floating around, it was only natural to build a museum to honor and preserve the maritime culture of the Outer Banks. A state-of-the-art structure, the year round museum houses and displays artifacts, and presents a variety of exhibits and interprets the rich maritime culture that includes war, piracy, ghost ships and more. Artifacts include thoseex from the USS Monitor, which sank 16 miles off the Hatteras coast. The lobby features the stunning and original, 1854, First Order Lens from the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Current hibits include those on piracy and the Civil War on Hatteras Island.
