What beach activities should we do in Corolla?
The best beach activities to do in Corolla include wild horse tours, watersports, and fishing.

Corolla is well-known for its wild Spanish Mustang horses, which can often be seen roaming the beaches. Several local tour operators offer guided excursions in open-air vehicles, taking you to the northern, less developed parts of the beach where the horses frequently gather. These tours provide an opportunity to observe the horses in their natural habitat while learning about their history and conservation. This is particularly appealing for families and those interested in wildlife.

For those seeking more active pursuits, Corolla's beaches are ideal for various watersports. You can hire equipment for paddleboarding, kayaking, or surfing from shops located near the main public beach access points. Many companies also offer lessons for beginners. The calmer soundside waters are great for kayaking and paddleboarding, while the oceanfront is better for surfing. This is a good option for adventurous couples or families with older children looking for active fun.

Fishing is another popular pastime along the Corolla coastline. Anglers can try surf fishing directly from the beach, casting lines for various species like drum and flounder. There are also several local charters available for offshore fishing trips, which typically depart from nearby marinas and target larger fish.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Corolla as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Corolla for you.
