Summary edit

Description

Duck is a town in Dare County, North Carolina, United States. The Town of Duck is Dare County's northernmost community, and one of the most popular resort destinations on the east coast of the United States. Incorporated on May 1, 2002, Duck is also the Outer Banks' newest town. Duck offers visitors outdoor recreational activities, summer events and concerts, watersports, fine dining, world class shopping, art galleries, and a nationally known jazz festival as well as the recent opening of Duck's new Town Park and southside boardwalk.

Originally part of Currituck County to the north, the stretch of the Outer Banks which includes Duck was transferred to Dare County in the early 20th century. The region was named for the many ducks and waterfowl in the area. During the peak vacation season the population increases to over 20,000.

The town park is a recreational facility with trails through the Maritime Forest and willow swamp. It also has an amphitheater, playground, picnic shelter, and public kayak/canoeing launch. Duck's beach was named one of the "Top 15 Family-Friendly Beaches in America". In October Duck hosts its annual Jazz Festival.
