Many consider Duck the crown jewel of the Outer Banks. Is it? Visit for a day or a week and let me know if you agree. Duck is located on a narrow strip of the Outer Bnaks where a short walk east and west will quickly take you from the ocean to the sound.

The charm of Duck lies in the quaint shops, restaurants and businesses. Walk, bike, or jog along the walk to the uniques stores offering everything you could want. Stroll to Ducks Cottage for morning coffee - flavors that will become a must have for you. Then head for one of the fresh, locally grown vegetable stands to compliment the gourmet items purchased for lunch or dinner at Tommy's Market. Meander through the shops and find all the goodies you could ever hope to take back home.

In addition to the offerings in the business area, you will find the welcoming neighborhoods on both the sound and ocean sides. Some of the neighborhoods offer amenities such as fitness centers, ocean front pools, tram rides, tennis courts and winding streets.
