The subdivision of Whalehead has some of the largest building lots in the area with most of the lots measuring 100 ft x 200 ft. There are no amenities and there is an active home owners association which maintains the private roads. There are a number of beach accesses spread through out the community, usually located at the end of each cross road with a walkway to the ocean. You will find Whalehead just past Buck Island as you travel north on Rte 12 and just before you get to Corolla Light.
