This shot was taken from the town's boardwalk while looking West over the sounds. It is advisable to visit the location in Winter as that is off season - so you can spend more time taking in the beauty of the North Carolina coastline and also sunsets are usually much more picturesque around the time owing to the cooler temperatures and lower amount of atmospheric haze. Plenty of things around Duck to see. Further north, there is the Currituck Lighthouse where you can climb the steps to the top of the lighthouse. North of Corolla, there is an area where you can drive along the coast on the sand - 4X4s a must. Here you can spot some Spanish Mustangs, horses out in the wild. If you're lucky, you can spot them running along the beach in the surf. I'd recommend taking a tour through the Corolla Wild Horse Fund - the money from the tours is used to help the wild horses in every which way possible and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for stopping by and for the support. #colorful #goldenhour #weekend #waterlust #bestof5 ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6924/81a4b2b5-e4f9-4c93-9451-2d46cb0fefb1.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Duck Boardwalk 2 min drive \- 0.7 miles - ![Beachfront real estate in Corolla Beach North Carolina outer banks](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635979819890/d4d3d06b-150f-4f8e-be50-d3e0455542b7.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Corolla Beach 18 min drive \- 11.9 miles - ![Wright Brothers National Memorial featuring a statue or sculpture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6066265/3480b2d9-f7dc-4911-a568-cdd6da374537.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Wright Brothers National Memorial 21 min drive \- 12.7 miles - ![Jennette\'s Pier showing general coastal views](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6250741/dce5ecdd-464b-42b0-9979-bfc80b12bf43.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Jennette's Pier 37 min drive \- 22.7 miles - Scarborough Lane Shoppes 2 min drive \- 0.9 miles ### Getting around - Manteo, NC (MEO-Dare County Regional) 42 min drive ### Restaurants - Duck Donuts 4 min drive - Sunset Grille & Raw Bar 5 min drive - Coastal Cravings 3 min drive - Donutz On a Stick 4 min drive - NC Coast Grill & Bar 4 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Written In Sand - 5 BR Soundside Home w/Private Pool, Hot Tub and Sunset Views pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Written In Sand - 5 BR Soundside Home w/Private Pool, Hot Tub and Sunset Views? ### What time is check-in at Written In Sand - 5 BR Soundside Home w/Private Pool, Hot Tub and Sunset Views? ### What time is check-out at Written In Sand - 5 BR Soundside Home w/Private Pool, Hot Tub and Sunset Views? ### Where is Written In Sand - 5 BR Soundside Home w/Private Pool, Hot Tub and Sunset Views located? ## Have a question?
