One of my favorite things to do at night at Corolla Light (after going out to the bars) is sitting in a lifeguard stand and checking out the stars. On a clear night, you can see many more stars at Corolla than you can in cities and in other places. It’s fun to bring a cooler and a friend up in the chair and just sit, stare, and talk. It’s completely dark out in front of you and without the usual beach sounds of kids and music, you’ll notice just how loud the ocean is. This will remind you just how powerful the ocean is, and that you’re always at its mercy whenever you go for a swim. No matter how invincible you think you are, the ocean has the power to humble you.

I’ve sat in the lifeguard stand at Corolla many nights and thought just how lucky I was to be able to sit there. It’s an experience worth trying and one I definitely recommend.
