Feather & Form: A Waterfowl Heritage Weekend
Waterfowl Heritage Weekend
The Sanderling Resort presents an exclusive three-day immersion into the Northern Outer Banks’ storied waterfowling heritage. This curated, limited capacity weekend celebrates the region’s deep connection to waterfowl hunting, decoy carving traditions, and coastal conservation—cornerstones of Currituck County culture since the late 1800s when wealthy industrialists discovered what locals had always known: the Northern Outer Banks is “Coratank,” a Native American word meaning “land of the wild geese.”
