Welcome to Colington Harbour!

Colington Harbour is a private gated subdivision situated in the heart of the Outer Banks. With over 2,400 lots, the “Harbour” is also the largest, and serves as home to a thriving boating community featuring miles of canals and scenic sound front homes along the beautiful Albemarle Sound.

Originally developed as a mix of retirement and vacation cottages, the Harbour has grown into the permanent residence for thousands of families and children galore. The deep water canals, ideal location, and friendly faces of our residents have made our community one of the premier destinations along the Atlantic coast.

Amenities within our neighborhood include a huge sound side park with sandy beaches, a playground, and sheltered picnic areas, a basketball court, as well as a kayak rack, boat launch and boat slips for rent. For a nominal fee, residents may also join the Yacht and Racket Club, which allows use of the two outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, and community clubhouse.

As a reminder, throughout the year, please always abide by the Parks’s rules.

Important Notice Ref: CHA Board Elections

The CHA lawyer was contacted approximately 2 months ago concerning this issue. As of this date, we have not received a response. After a lengthy and thorough review by the Board of Directors on Tuesday, March 12th, a vote was made to remove John Collins from the election ballot per Colington Covenants Article 3, Section 1. This was most definitely not an easy decision however, the BOD’s duties are to our homeowners of this amazing community while following the guidelines set forth for membership in our governing documents. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the CHA at [email protected] or 252-441-5886.


COLINGTON HARBOUR ASSOCIATION UPCOMING BOARD ELECTIONS

For over 50 years, Colington Harbour has been successfully growing due to the dedication of residents who have volunteered countless hours to make this community one of the best places to live on the OBX.
Would you like to help keep our Harbour thriving? Do you have ideas on how to make it even better? Now is your chance!

The Colington Harbour Association (CHA) is our homeowner’s organization that manages the ‘daily business of the community’, which includes:

Ensuring the compliance of the established standards of the community via its governing documents (By-Laws & Covenants).
Managing the community’s common property elements (roads, amenities, marina, etc.).
Promoting the well-being of Colington Harbour as a whole.
As part of the Association, the Board of Directors, made up of seven volunteer members, are elected by property owners within the community each April. There will be three (3) Board seats available in this upcoming election.

Each position is a three-year term, beginning April 13th, 2024, and ending April 10th, 2027. Candidates MUST OWN property in Colington Harbour (i.e. listed on Dare County tax records as an owner of said property). If you own property in the Harbour and are interested in running for one of the open positions, please stop by the office, or email at:[email protected], BEGINNING January 18, 2024, to receive an application.

In addition to the completed application, you will need to submit an endorsement from ten (10) members in good standing (provided with the application, and verified through Dare County tax records), and a biography or platform statement of 100 words or less to the Colington Harbour Administration office BETWEEN February 1, 2024, at 9:00 am and February 15, 2024, at 4:30 pm (By-Laws – Article V, Section 4b).

It has been very exciting over the last few years to see so many homeowners applying for Board seats, and we hope it will be no different this year. Let’s hear your voice!




The Forum is a 501c3 non-profit. We support education via scholarship programs as well as other development programs here on the beach.

REMINDER: To All Dog Owners

PLEASE pick up after your dog!
In addition, there have been some concerns raised over dogs that are being walked, but unleashed. Although some of these dogs are extremely friendly, and will run up to adults and children just to be petted, it can be a frightening experience for children or adults who are afraid of dogs.
Please be sensitive to these people, and leash your dog when walking on the roads of Colington Harbour.

Thank you, CHA


SPEED LIMITS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY

The posted speed limit throughout the harbour is 25 mph. Please abide by this speed limit.
Pedestrian and Cyclists
Please use caution, as a driver, to ensure the safety of everyone. Blind drives, curves, and narrow shoulders throughout the neighborhood, can lead to accidents that we can avoid if we use caution.

Cyclists should ride on the right hand side of the road, riding with traffic. Use caution when approaching curves and blind drives. Pedestrians should walk on the left hand side of the road, also using caution. Walking or riding a bicycle on the wrong side of the road can cause unexpected obstacles to drivers.

Our roads are extremely narrow. Please, be courteous to all!!.
