What Sets Ocean Lake Apart?

What truly sets Ocean Lake apart from other OBX communities is its unique combination of beachfront access and natural outdoor experiences. Unlike many other neighborhoods, Ocean Lake features a stocked, ten-acre catch-and-release fishing lake, offering a peaceful setting and a great option for off-beach recreation.

Guests also enjoy an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a kiddie pool, four tennis courts, and several easily accessible beach walkways. Located on the northern end of Ocean Sands, Ocean Lake offers the tranquility of a lakeside environment with close proximity to Corolla’s dining, shopping, and family-friendly attractions.

Community Amenities

Hit the courts for a friendly game of tennis or pickleball, or cool off with a refreshing swim in the community pool. You can start enjoying the amenities as soon as you arrive, just swing by the Corolla office at 1142 Ocean Trail to grab your pool pass (you’ll need it to get in). The pool is open daily from 10 AM to 7 PM, so there’s plenty of time to soak up the sun.

Feeling like a more laid-back afternoon? Head to the beautiful 7-acre stocked fishing lake! No license needed, just cast a line from the shore and enjoy some peaceful, catch-and-release fun right in the neighborhood.

Beach Access

One of the best perks of staying in Ocean Sands? Super easy beach access! Whether you’re just a few steps or a quick flip-flop walk away, getting to the sand is a breeze.
