The Town of Duck is such a fantastic place to live. One of the things I treasure is the ability to visit stores and restaurants on foot without the use of a car. The Town Park and boardwalk are located in the center of Duck on the soundside. The boardwalk is open from dawn till 1:00 a.m.
According to The Town of Duck website the boardwalk cost $479,849 to construct, is ten feet wide and held up by around 393 pilings that are inserted 8 feet into the ground. The boardwalk is 3,500 feet and the first phases of the boardwalk were completed in 2009 with the most recent phase just completed.
Most of Duck’s shops and restaurants are connected by the Duck Trail or by the boardwalk. If you take a stroll on Duck’s beautiful boardwalk you’ll find all types of shops as to explore and fantastic restaurants to visit. You will find anything from books, clothing, art, kayaks, candy and toys.
Some great places to visit near the Boardwalk:
- Ducks Cottage: A coffee and book store – I highly recommend the Mucky Duck.
- SeaDragon Gallery: A shop that promotes American artisans that specialize in jewelry, pottery, glass, metal and wood. Artwork by local artists as well as nationwide.
- BluePoint: Regional, coastal cuisine and southern hospitality alongside spectacular views of the Currituck Sound. Everything is delicious!
- DuckDonuts: Freshly made cake donuts – you pick your topping, guaranteed you will stop by more than once.
- DocksideN’ Duck: Family owned and operated they provide fresh seafood as well as fresh baked goods and sides and supplies for all your cooking needs.
