So beautiful. You can drive down the beach and hang out all day without a noisy boardwalk and thousands of people. The horses are an added bonus. I would not suggest a small light all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicle. If you've never driven in sand, you don't need to try it out in a vehicle like that.... More

watching the wild horse walk the surf........dolphins come swimming by to say hello.......being able to drive along the beach and sticking your feet in the white powdery sand will make us go back to corrolla over and over again.........there are many wonderful shopping opportunities ...dining options in the area as well.......take a picnic with you as you will want to...
