The Town of Duck, NC, is the most charming Outer Banks seaside town. Although it has official "Town" status only having been incorporated in 2002; you will find that Duck still retains it's village feel. With 7 miles of clean beaches, miles of bike path and a walk able central village with shops, restaurants, a sound front park and activities, and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Currituck Sound; Duck is the northern most town in Dare County.
In the past several years, Duck, NC, has become one of the most popular family beach destinations in the country. This designation may have something to do with some positive publicity from the Travel Channel. Duck consistently ranks high on the Travel Channel's annual America's Best Beaches list and has been somewhere on the best beaches list since 2000. This is what the Travel Channel has to say about Duck: "Duck's relative solitude and its vast array of neatly constructed rental homes make it ideal for families. That is, unless your family likes to go bar hopping until the wee hours, in which case you may be out of luck.... Still, while we admit Duck would never make the list for top spring break party spots, boredom is hardly a threat here."
The beaches in Duck are less crowded because there are no public accesses. Each subdivision or community has been well planned so there is access to the beach. If you are not staying in Duck, you are not using their beaches. Even communities on the Westside have a designated beach access. Even though there are no public accesses, the Town does provide Ocean rescue during the summer months for visitors and residents alike.
