Oriental, NC, a small, friendly village of 900 people, harbors three times as many sailboats. It welcomes boaters from around the world who follow the Intracoastal Waterway. Surrounded by deepwater creeks and the Neuse River, it's an excellent destination for fishing, sailing, and kayaking. Shops, galleries, restaurants, and a scenic waterfront park allow for relaxation while off the water. With only one traffic light in the county, the pace is relaxed, and the bicycle is a favored mode of transportation in town.
