Grandy, NC — Where It Is, What's There, and Where to Stay
Grandy is an unincorporated village in Currituck County, North Carolina, on US-158 on the Currituck mainland. It sits about 20 minutes (17.7 miles) north of the Wright Memorial Bridge to Kitty Hawk and the Outer Banks.
Most traffic to the Outer Banks from Virginia and points north drives through Grandy on US-158, so the village is mostly highway frontage on one side and quiet waterfront on Currituck Sound on the other. Grandy has no ocean beach of its own; the beaches start once you cross the bridge.
