The Outer Banks: Part of the Outer Banks's charm is the remoteness of the area. Since it’s accessible only by ferry or by driving over one of the bridges that connects it to the mainland, once you're here, you feel far removed from the rest of the world. But it's really not that far. Join us in Duck as we venture for the first time onto this spectacular set of islands.
 

 

 

The Sanderling Resort & Spa on North Carolina 's Outer Banks touches the shores of both the majestic Atlantic Ocean and the serene Currituck Sound.
