About Sanderling
The Sanderling community is a charming haven nestled on the northern beaches of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. This idyllic spot sits on a slender strip of land, with the Atlantic Ocean’s dunes on one side and the tranquil marshes of the Currituck Sound on the other.
Here, you’ll find a place where the natural beauty is as captivating as it is fragile. The Sanderling community takes pride in caring for this unique environment, ensuring it remains a beautiful sanctuary for all to enjoy. Come stay with us and be part of a community that cherishes and protects its stunning surroundings!
Sanderling is home to deer, small mammals, and numerous bird species; the Sound, lagoons, and lakes in the area are rich in aquatic life.
Maritime trees, shrubs, and grasses shaped by the wind and sea, have been carefully tended and all construction in Sanderling is regulated to minimize the loss of natural vegetation.
Within this well-preserved environment, Sanderling community pays tribute to a simple and unadorned life at the beach. It is a place for the gathering of family and friends who come principally to enjoy the environment.
Please do not walk on the dunes, damage sand fences, or damage or remove sea oats or other foliage as they help preserve and protect our community and delicate ecology.
Access to the Currituck Sound is available at the piers and boat ramp located at the Sanderling Racquet and Swim Club one mile north of The Lookout.
All other piers and beach or sound access locations are private property.
