Family Overview: Duck and the Outer Banks, North Carolina
North Carolina's Outer Banks, a strip of narrow barrier islands off the state's coast, stretch for 125 miles from Corolla to Ocracoke. To the east, the Atlantic waves break against the shore; to the west, the sound's waters flow into calm coves and salt marshes. The Duck- to-Nags Head corridor in the northern region makes a good base for families, with wide, dune-bordered beaches, historical sights, gardens, an aquarium, and many other summer-perfect attractions.Read More
