"September in Sanderling might be the best-kept secret on the Outer Banks."

Warm water, cooler evenings, fewer crowds, and every great restaurant still open. The fireplace is ready come November, and the oaks are extraordinary in winter. Duck Cottage is at its best when everyone else has gone home.
