At Oriental
In Response To: Oriental and New Bern ()

There are no facilties; however, if you want a nice warm shower you can pay for them at the marina next store. At least that was the way a couple of years ago. Also there was a wonderful used boating hardware store in walking distance and a really solid marine hardware store close by if it's still there. They let you borrow a couple of bikes if memory serves me correct.

To bad anchoring there is a PITA. Lovely community and everyone was friendly You can watch the web cam (if it's still there) that shows the town dock so you might know if there is space. We anchored out for two days and then connected with someone at the dock (during the busy season) so they called us when they left and we slipped right in.

One of the nicest places between Norfork and Beaufort.
