Few places let you explore, on foot, the length of a town’s activities, shops and dining scene, not to mention entirely at waterside! The ability to do so in Duck lends to much of its unparalleled enchantment. Ditch the car and set out by foot or bike. Mosey between the galleries, boutiques and shops while strolling down the boardwalk that runs through town on the Currituck Sound. Let it lead you through marsh grass corridors and beneath live oaks. Watch the boaters, Jet Skiers, parasailers and paddleboarders playing in the sound. Along the way, take a minute for an ice cream or coffee pick me up. Hungrier than that? Good. The restaurants – from family delis to gourmet dining experiences – tempt with flavors of local ingredients and specialties, elevated beverages and killer views. It’s an ideal set up for grabbing drinks or appetizers at one place before heading to another for dinner – or reverse with dessert. Discover the ways to shop, play, dine and stay in Duck by visiting the Duck Merchants Association’s website.
