The resort also features the renewed Beach House Bar, ideal for morning coffee, craft cocktails, and sunset views by the firepit.
The Sanderling is located just 6.2 km from Duck, NC, and 18.5 km from the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, with easy access to the Wright Brothers National Memorial and other top Outer Banks attractions.
