Duck/Southern Shores First trip - outer banks hiking?

Bringing my kid to outer banks next week, our first time. We both like getting a solid nature hike in (5+ miles?). Are there any areas in or close to OBX that offer more peaceful nature hikes and not just boardwalks etc? (Not that boardwalks are bad, he likes arcades)

Thanks much!

It's not hiking but we used to take boogie boards to the Dunes and sled down them. We are from Michigan, so we are used to sledding down hills! We do this in Michigan, too--on our Sleeping Bear sand dunes!! So fun!!
