Located at the north end of Pine Island, the Southern Beach Access at Yaupon Lane is one of Corolla’s most complete public beach access points. The site offers approximately 30 parking spaces, along with public restrooms and outdoor showers, making it especially convenient for families and visitors spending a full day at the beach. Beachgoers follow the designated access across the dunes to reach the ocean. A seasonal lifeguard is typically stationed at this location during the summer swimming season. Unlike most Corolla access points, Yaupon Lane also includes a vehicle drive-over ramp. The ramp is available during the off-season, generally October 1 through April 30, subject to Currituck County beach-driving rules and conditions.
