Take an adventure of a lifetime on a horseback ride on our pristine beaches! On the back of a horse is a great way to take in our beautiful shoreline and search for the wild horses and cattle that roam our islands. Sunset and sunrise rides are even more unique, but any journey proves to make for an unforgettable memory. The Stables at Cedar Island Ranch offer an absolute must-do activity on your vacation. With a unique beach and wilderness experience for horse enthusiasts from all over the world, our stables provide an exclusive experience for horse rides on the Pamlico Sound beaches. This undeveloped and pristine beach has spectacular views along the coast and miles of virtually untouched land to explore. Search for the majestic Outer Banks Wild Spanish Horses; they have roamed these areas freely for centuries. The horses are a protected herd that travels throughout the islands and are frequently at our beach. Our horseback rides showcase the natural beauty of the coast of Pamlico Sound. You will ride along the water’s edge in the sand. You may have the opportunity to witness wild horses, marine wildlife such as dolphins, sea otters, seabirds, free-range cattle, and different species of saltwater stingrays, or fish. Our 90 minute rides will feature amazing 1,000 foot water crossings between Cedar Island and Ship Shoal Island with beach trail riding. We offer one hour, one and a half hour, as well as private rides Tuesday through Sunday all year round at The Stables of Cedar Island Ranch. At Cedar Island Ranch, we take pride in our RV sites. All RV sites have 30 & 50 amp service. All sites have frost-proof water hydrants for guest use year-round and either full hook-up septic or use of our dump station. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Cedar Island Bay or Pamlico Sound. You will love the sunrise every morning. Every site in the campground is within a few steps of a view of the water.
