A low key spot to enjoy the view

Located at 317 North Dogwood Trail, Sunset Overlook offers a deck overlooking the Currituck Sound and steps down to a sandy beach.

A few parking spaces and a simple path to the overlook.

Walking toward the overlook.

The deck is on the left and the stairs are over to the right.

The little deck with benches overlooking the sound. You can see the sandy beach below.

Stairs leading down to the beach. 

The sandy beach with stairs leading into the water.

Looking north (toward Duck) from the sandy beach.

Looking back up the stairs.

You can kind of see that the risers are very short. It's a pretty easy stairway to go up and down.

Looking back toward the parking area. Across the street is the old fire road that leads up to Hillcrest Drive.
