Sturgeon Parking is a public gravel-and-sand parking area serving the Sturgeon beach access in Corolla’s Whalehead community. From the parking area, beachgoers can follow the designated route to Sturgeon Walkway and continue across the dunes to the Atlantic Ocean. This lot is primarily intended to provide convenient public parking for beach visitors rather than function as a full-service beach facility.
There is no bathhouse, public restroom or shower facility listed at the parking lot, so visitors should plan accordingly before arriving. Seasonal lifeguard service is typically provided at the associated Sturgeon beach location during the summer season. The parking area itself does not provide vehicle access onto the beach, and there is no public drive-over ramp at Sturgeon.
