Well that about seals it then. You won’t have much time sightseeing in VA,but once in Duck, you have :
Corolla Lighthouse,
Kitty Hawk/Kill Devil Hills (Wright Bros)
Jockey’s Ridge (Hang glider lessons and rental)
You can go out on a head boat to deeper water to fish. Head boats are first come first serve until it’s full.
If you have lots of cash, you can rent a boat for some Deepseea fun.
Various Piers you can pay to walk out on or fish from.
On Manteo Island you have:
Lost Colony & Elizabethan Gardens (Original Settlers Virginia Dare)
NC Aquarium.
Been a while since I was there, but those are some highlights. I do recall there is verylittle side of the road parking available, so you can’t just stop and enjoy aview, but you won't miss outon sights.Also keep in mind. Duck is an area of Private Beach access so very little in the way of crowds. Also No life guards so watch out for Rip Tides.I hope all this helps.
