The OBX beach is absolutely stunning! It's a hidden gem that I've added to my list of must-visit spots along the Outer Banks. It's located in a secluded area along the expansive 4X4 beach, which is perfect for those who crave solitude. The views are breathtaking, and the beach itself is incredibly peaceful. Kayaking along the canals is a great way to unwind and relax. One of the highlights of this beach is the chance to see the wild horses, which is truly a unique experience. Just make sure you have a reliable 4X4 vehicle and that your tire pressure is between 15-20 psi. Before entering or exiting the beach, there are tire fill-up and release stations available for your convenience.

I had the pleasure of visiting one of the most stunning beaches I have ever laid eyes on. The beach was immaculate, and the atmosphere was filled with joy and excitement. I even had the chance to witness wild horses roaming freely along the shore, which added to the already breathtaking scenery. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience filled with adventure and serenity.

The beaches are stunning, and it's always a treat to catch a glimpse of the untamed ponies that roam the shore.

Renting a house here is highly recommended if you want to enjoy walking on the beach, searching for shells, and relaxing. The sunrises are stunning, except on cloudy days. The three-story home we stayed in was fantastic, and the third-floor balcony always had a refreshing ocean breeze.
