The barrier Islands of the NC Northern Banks, now sought-after summer beaches, used to be the duck hunting retreat of tycoons from New York and Connecticut.
The marshes and ponds of the historic Currituck Sound were and still are the wintering habitat for wild fowl from far north. Nowadays, The Pine Island Audubon Sanctuary is guardian of the Sound and marshes while

the residential beach community, Pine Island, offers wide secluded beaches. Large, modern beach homes welcome summer regulars and vacationers facing the ocean east and the Audubon Sanctuary and Sound west.
Biking and jogging trails, Tennis, Swimming pools offer active sport, as well as kayaking and birding through the Audubon Sanctuary. The Pine Island private airstrip offers landing capability.
