Duck is undoubtedly one of the favorite Outer Banks destinations. It is the very special atmosphere and old-time charm that make this OBX town truly unique. It came out as a tourist destination in the early 1980s and developed very rapidly.
Today, it is affluent, busy and thriving, with an outstanding selection of both fine and casual restaurants, quaint boutiques and art galleries and recreational opportunities ? surfing, kayaking, parasailing, jetskiing and fishing.
Incorporated in 2002, Duck is home to only about 500 year-round residents and remains primarily a resort community. Its unique location on a slender strip of land presents a great chance to experience the best of Outer Banks living! Many of the homes in Duck offer unparalleled views of both the ocean and the sound providing an incredible opportunity for you to watch the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening from the same spot on your deck!
