The Duck Town Park Boardwalk stretches nearly a mile along the shores of Currituck Sound in the Outer Banks. The elevated wooden path weaves through coastal wetlands and maritime forest, connecting visitors directly to village shops, waterfront dining, and park amenities. It offers an ideal setting for scenic walks, birdwatching, kayaking access, and enjoying evening sunsets over the water.

Quick tip: Visit in the late afternoon to beat the peak daytime heat and stay for clear sunset views over the sound.
