The Town of Duck
Locals often reminisce about the old village of Duck. Now officially a town, this tiny community was only known for its dirt roads and abundance of waterfowl. Duck has changed dramatically over the past 50 years.Fortunately, Duck has managed to maintain the quaint and cozy small village feeling.
The village lies on the soundside (west) of the banks. Sheltered by the large natural sand dunes and vegetation which has been weather and shaped by the wind and seasonal elements. The hardy and robust natural vegetation include live oaks, bayberry, cedars, willows and pines. The town continues to support a strict vegetation ordinance and building code requirements to keep this precious balance of nature and developement.
In addition, the town has recently added the soundfront park with pavilion, playground and walking paths.This pedestrian friendly community is a favorite vacation spot for thousands of visitors every year.A variety of delightful restaurants, specialty shops, spas and the ever popular beaches keep people coming back year after year. In addition, many baby boomers are investing in what will soon become their retirement home.The completion of the Outer Banks Hospital in Nags Head and the confirmation of a new bridge in Corolla have made this destination resort an even more desirable place for retirement. This charming town is a top pick for those looking for a beach home.
