This county is only about 30-40 minute drive from our Cove City Stays. Croaker Festival, quaint fishing village for walking, or bicycles. Brantley’s seafood restaurant is owned by some of my ex husband’s relatives. The Silos Restaurant is a unique restaurant renovated from actual grain silos! I lived in Oriental briefly some decades ago. It’s a wonderful town. Has become a retirement hidden gem, and known now as the sailing capitol of NC. Weekly regattas! Wildlife photographers, and birder enthusiasts will not be disappointed. Drive from Oriental to Minnesott and cross the Neuse River by a free NC car ferry boat over to Havelock, NC back in Craven County, home of MCAS Cherry Point & the Navy’s FRC East aircraft rework facility that has annual air shows for the family to enjoy! 20 min back to New Bern, then 15 minutes back to Cove City.
