The Travel Channel recently compiled a list of The Best Family Beaches in America.

Duck, located on the northern part of the Outer Banks, landed at # 8.  The review highlights the quaint village setting and great family atmosphere that Duck has to offer.  Most rental homes in Duck are located only a short walk away from the beach, so transportation is never a problem.  If you enjoy dining out, Duck also has something for everyone.  Duck is also are great place to go out shopping on a rainy day.
