Lots of visitors have a standard ‘vacation home,’ that they return to each year. Stay once at one of our rental homes, and we’d say it’s safe to say you’ll be back. Many visitors choose to stay in one of the many luxurious beach homes on the Corolla 4×4 beaches, which extend from the northern end of Corolla to the Virginia/North Carolina state line at the community of Carova, North Carolina. Vacationers love Corolla because you can do as much – or as little – as you want in this tucked-away coastal gem. On the Currituck Outer Banks, you can truly listen to the surf, and doze off to the ocean’s song. Lounge on the sand away from the crowds at more urban beaches.

Kids of all ages are free to frolic on your own beach throughout the mornings and chase ghost crabs into the tides all night. When you visit Corolla you’ll find that every inch of the Outer Banks is just as beautiful and pristine as you’d imagined. We love visitors and we love showing off our beautiful Currituck Outer Banks home. You’ll feel like a local in no time thanks to the Southern hospitality and laid-back coastal attitude. This hidden beach trove is known for many things, but above all its windswept remote beaches and the one-of-a-kind wild Spanish mustangs. Storied sites like the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, the Whalehead mansion, and the Currituck Maritime Museum, as well as eclectic shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities have also made this quaint coastal community a sought-after family vacation paradise. Notably less commercial than many other seaside locales, here you’ll find breathtaking natural beauty abounds.
Corolla is the kind of place where folks wave at each other, and the vibes are always good. Its 24 miles of unspoiled shoreline is a unique treasure in these modern times, as are the distinct and charming communities dotting the area. Since hail can cause the rainfall estimates to be higher than what is actually occurring, steps are taken to prevent these high dBZ values from being converted to rainfall.Corolla (pronouced: “Kuh-RAH-Luh”) is one of the most popular beach vacation destinations on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Hail is a good reflector of energy and will return very high dBZ values. These values are estimates of the rainfall per hour, updated each volume scan, with rainfall accumulated over time.
Depending on the type of weather occurring and the area of the U.S., forecasters use a set of rainrates which are associated to the dBZ values. The higher the dBZ, the stronger the rainrate. Typically, light rain is occurring when the dBZ value reaches 20. The scale of dBZ values is also related to the intensity of rainfall. The value of the dBZ depends upon the mode the radar is in at the time the image was created. Notice the color on each scale remains the same in both operational modes, only the values change. The other scale (near left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in precipitation mode (dBZ values from 5 to 75). One scale (far left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in clear air mode (dBZ values from -28 to +28). Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales. The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used. Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). "Reflectivity" is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The colors are the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z) during each elevation scan.
