Genuine Southern Hospitality

Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and Currituck Sound, “The Sanderling” has been welcoming guests since 1985. Beloved for its dune-rippled beaches and small town vibes, the Outer Banks are one of the most quintessential vacation spots to visit on the East Coast and our resort is a key part of the area’s rich tradition.
