Duck, NC

Duck, North Carolina was voted one of the best beaches for families by the Travel Channel in 2009.

Child-Friendliness
RATING: 5 of 5
Almost exclusively a residential beach town, Duck caters to families, with the rowdier crowd usually heading elsewhere.

Swimming
RATING: 5 of 5
Oceanside beaches offer sand and surf, while the sound offers calmer waters for aquatic sports.

Sand
RATING: 5 of 5
more: The beach is wide, soft and clean.

Atmosphere
RATING: 4 of 5
The town has a quaint village-like charm, and the sound and sea are spectacular.

Non-Beach Activities
RATING: 3 of 5
Since Duck is largely residential, non-beach activities are found mostly outside town.

Places to eat in Corolla or Duck
We've been to the Outer Banks several times in the last few years. The restaurants we've tried have not impressed us. We ate at Elizabeth's in Duck but thought it was very pricey for mediocre food. We've tried the Sunset Grill and thought the location was pretty but the inside atmosphere and food were disappointing. Any suggestions? Read More...

Hatteras or Duck/Corolla?
Planning a vacation to OBX and am trying to decide between Hatteras, Avon area or Duck/Corolla, with oceanfront rental in either location. From what I understand Duck/Corolla is newer and more residential and rentals seem to be more costly. Hatteras area appears to be less populated, and rentals less costly. I'm trying to determine the benefits or drawbacks to each area. A couple of specific questions I have are:

How long is drive to each area once you get over bridge? Are there enough 'large' grocery stores; video rentals and restuarants in each area? Is the beach area different in either area or access to beach from the homes (in things read on Hatteras rental descriptions don't mention 'private boardwalk to beach')? Any and all information would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Read More...

Town park in Duck?
Could anyone tell me where this is located? We're going to try to get on the island early this year to avoid traffic, and the park looks like the perfect place for a picnic lunch (and somewhere where the kids can burn off some energy after sitting in the car for 8 hours!). Read More...
