Things To Do
Duck Town Park Boardwalk
The Duck Boardwalk stretches one mile along the Currituck Sound. The boardwalk connects shops, restaurants, and cafes including the original Duck Donuts! This is the perfect place for a leisurely walk with your morning coffee, or for anyone looking for the perfect spot to watch the sunset.
Golf at The Currituck Club
Wild Horse Adventure Tours
We took this tour during our recent trip to the Outer Banks in October of 2025, and it was truly an unforgettable experience - we counted 20 horses on our tour! We loved seeing the horses roam freely, but equally cherished the scenic drive through beaches and the charming, secluded towns only accessible by sand. This tour goes on rain or shine and books up quickly, so we recommend booking your time slot in advance. Please note this tour travels across sandy, off-road terrain and over large sand dunes. This may not be suitable for guests who are sensitive to motion.
Spa at The Sanderling
Treat yourself to a relaxing experience at The Sanderling Spa. Just don't be so relaxed you miss the party! You can always treat yourself after to unwind!
Timbuck II Shopping Village
Timbuck II is filled with restaurants and diverse shops. Upside Restaurant & Bar, and Big Buck's Homemade Ice Cream are our personal favorites!
Currituck Beach Lighthouse
Lighthouses hold a special place in Outer Banks history, and today they've become symbols of the area's beauty and resilience. You can climb the 220 steps to the top for beautiful views of the ocean, the sound, and of Corolla. Located in Historic Corolla Park, there are beautiful views all around the lighthouse.
Jockey's Ridge State Park
Jockey's Ridge is home to the tallest sand dunes on the East Coast. This is Mackenzie's personal favorite place to watch the sunset.
Take a drive down to Cape Hatteras and enjoy the following stops along the way:
Nights in Rodanthe House
Nicholas Sparks fans will recognize this house! If you are up for the drive, there are many sights to see on the drive down to Cape Hatteras, including this house. The home is actually a vacation rental property known as "Serendipity" located in the town of Rodanthe. It became a symbol of love after starring in the movie Nights in Rodanthe. This area of the Outer Banks seems to be the most heavily impacted by hurricanes. In 2010, the house had to be moved further from the ocean due to sand shifts and hurricanes threatening to wash it away. Much like the lighthouses in the OBX, the home stands as a reminder of resilience, romance, and holding onto the things that matter most. It's the perfect spot for a photo and/or a walk on the beach to soak in the coastal love story that made it famous!
Avon Pier
The Avon Pier is open everyday and open to the public. This is the perfect place to go fishing, watch surfers, or enjoy the sunset. The pier is above a beautiful beach that is perfect for walks. We recommend planning to have a light meal while you're in the area. Bros Sandwich Shack is a short drive from the pier and has delicious food!
Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum
The waters off the coast of North Carolina has claimed thousands of ships over centuries, earning the name "Graveyard of the Atlantic". Inside the museum are exhibits of shipwrecks, pirates, Civil War battles, and German boats that patrolled the coast during World War II. Admission is free.
