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 7 min walk \- 0.4 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 15 min drive \- 9.9 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 41 min drive \- 24.9 miles - Nor'Banks Sailing 18 min walk \- 1.0 mile - Scarborough Lane Shoppes 2 min drive \- 1.5 miles ### Getting around - Manteo, NC (MEO-Dare County Regional) 48 min drive ### Restaurants - Duck Donuts 12 min walk - Sunset Grille & Raw Bar 4 min walk - Coastal Cravings 17 min walk - Donutz On a Stick 16 min walk - NC Coast Grill & Bar 2 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Borden, Ships Watch Community in Duck, NC have a pool? ### Is Borden, Ships Watch Community in Duck, NC pet-friendly? ### What time is check-in at Borden, Ships Watch Community in Duck, NC? ### What time is check-out at Borden, Ships Watch Community in Duck, NC? ### Where is Borden, Ships Watch Community in Duck, NC located? ## Have a question?
