We know it's tempting, but don't just be a beach potato.
Duck offers good sports a host of recreational opportunities.
Take to Duck Trail, along Route 12, where you can bike, jog or run. Or go a bit north, to the Pine Island Audubon Sanctuary, where you can hike a two-mile nature trail. Watch for ducks and other birds. Now go to the beach. And don't forget to take a good book.
