Welcome to Whalehead Beach
Whalehead Beach is one of Corolla’s most recognizable neighborhoods—and for good reason. With generously sized lots, easy beach access, and a relaxed, residential feel, it has long been a favorite among vacationers, investors, and second-home seekers alike.
If you’re looking for space, flexibility, and a true “beach house” experience, Whalehead deserves your attention.
Why Buyers Love Whalehead?
Oversized Lots
Unlike many beach communities with tightly packed homes, Whalehead Beach offers room to breathe.
Most properties sit on half-acre lots, allowing for:
- Private pools and larger outdoor entertaining spaces
- More separation between homes
- Generous parking—important for multi-family stays
It’s a great choice for those who want the benefits of a vacation home without feeling like they’re on top of their neighbors.
Three Streets From Ocean to Sound
Whalehead is made up of just three main streets (Whalehead Drive, Lighthouse Drive, and Ocean Sands Road), all running parallel to the beach.
That means almost every home is just a short walk to the ocean—no long commutes, no crossing highways.
Strong Rental Potential
Thanks to its location and layout, Whalehead has long been popular with vacationers.
- Large homes accommodate groups
- Private pools are common and expected
- Easy beach access = consistent bookings
Whether you’re buying for lifestyle or income (or both), Whalehead properties typically perform well.
