Just For Fun offers “ribbon” views of the ocean from the family room and decks from one of the highest points in Duck—race to the beach – a 4-minute walk – to dig your feet in the warm sand. 'Just for Fun' comes equipped with boogie boards, skimboards, a wagon to haul stuff, and bikes and helmets to ride to Schooner Ridge's private beach access (where you'll find a beachside pool and showers). After riding waves and building sand castles all day, come home to sit in the front porch swing, lay in the hammock, and watch the kids play basketball out front. Or swim and splash out back in the 18' x 28' private saltwater pool, use the pool-side bathhouse and shower, swing under the pool-side gazebo, and relax in the large hot tub under the star-filled sky. Grill up steaks and fresh seafood on the gas grill on the pool deck.

Enjoy the sun and sand while you find everything your family needs in kids-oriented Schooner Ridge. 100 yards and you're at the Schooner Ridge community center, where you'll find a new playground, tennis courts, an outdoor pool, and a separate baby pool – on the off-chance you catch a rainy day, the kids can splash in a heated indoor pool, play handball in the racquetball courts, or use the game room, and adults can enjoy the gym.

​​​​​​​Quaint shops and restaurants in Duck Village await you – a five-minute walk. In Duck, you can find such treats as Sunset Ice-Cream, Big Bucks Ice Cream, the kayak launch, crabbing docks, free concerts, puppet shows, and yoga/exercise classes at the amphitheater – all on the sound-side boardwalk that spans Duck Village. In nearby Scarborough Lane and Scarborough Faire, you will find shops, coffee, and the Island Bookshop for a great beach read.

Head north 20 minutes to Corolla for go-karts, bumper cars, mini-golf, beach shops, and other fun activities for the kids. Climb the 220 steps of the Currituck Lighthouse for ocean-to-sound views, or take your 4x4 vehicle on the beach where the road ends. See the wild ponies roaming the sands (believed to be descended from survivors of 17th-century Spanish shipwrecks). Or, head south to Kitty Hawk to visit the Wright Brothers National Monument or run Jockey's Ridge, the huge sand dune that seems even more prominent in the moonlight. You'll find a long stretch of beachy restaurants, stores, mini-golf, and a movie theater heading South to Hatteras.
