Currituck Heritage Park is Best Beach Alternative


Currituck Heritage Park has become the best alternative to the beach for summer visitors to the Outer Banks. A visit to the Whalehead Club, Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education or the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, all within the park, will acquaint you with all aspects of local history. It is also a popular location for people to leisurely walk the natural and cultural history trail, fish and crab from our docks and view the sunset. The addition of a footbridge over the living marsh exhibit on the south lawn gives folks another vantage point for photographing the Whalehead Club and the surrounding natural beauty.
The demand for wedding receptions, family reunions and public events continuing after dark has brought about the installation of lighting in the parking lots. Gone are the days when temporary lights were powered by generators transported to the park from great distances! While all outside events must still end by the time the noise ordinance kicks in at 10:00 p.m., it allows time to enjoy balmy summer evenings after sunset without rushing back to your car before dark. Whether you live locally or are a visitor to the Outer Banks, Currituck Heritage Park is your best alternative to the beach!
