I pulled up and this was the first thing I saw.  It is said when a wave breaks over the horizon it has a 15 ft face or greater. This thing steamrolled all the way down the point.

Coast Guard station #166 built in 1917 Corova, NC. It's a few miles from VA border. The guys who operated this station  literally lived in the middle of nowhere. To this day an 8.5 mille drive up the beach in 4 wheel drive is necessary to reach this spot.  It is worth it though, it's beautiful up there.
