Coastal Cantina

Coastal Cantina sits on Duck Road, the main route running through the heart of Duck, serving Mexican- and coastal-inspired fare from late morning through the evening, seven days a week. It's a short walk or drive from Duck's soundside boardwalk and boutique shops, making it a convenient stop for lunch or dinner during a day spent in town.

Hours & Location

The restaurant is open daily from 11:00 AM to 8:30 PM, covering lunch and dinner service without a midday break — worth knowing if you're arriving in the late afternoon between beach time and evening plans. It falls in the $$ price range and sits on Duck Road, within easy reach of the rest of Duck's compact, walkable downtown.

Duck is one of the quieter, more upscale stretches of the Outer Banks' northern beaches — smaller in scale than the core-beaches towns to the south, with a character shaped by its soundside setting on Currituck Sound rather than a beach-strip scene. A cantina-style menu is a solid fit for a post-beach meal or a stop before an evening walk along the sound, and the daily lunch-through-dinner hours make it workable for either a casual midday break or a full sit-down dinner.
