Excellent stop over between Beaufort NC and Bellhaven, NC. Tom is knowledgeable and guided us in with calm reassurance. Dock crew helpful and friendly. Very dog friendly, small town, stores are fun, the new gallery on Front Street past the New Town brewery is amazing and very affordable art work! We would stop here again. The outside dock was fine for our 34' boat. Winds and river were calm. It might be a challenge to dock here if river is moderate chop and wind from the south or south west. All in all great facility.

We rented a slip from a long-term resident at the marina for two weeks between cruising. The dockmaster Ceci Ann was very kind and responsive, trying to help us out in every way possible. The marina is clean and well maintained. Ceci Ann organizes all sorts of events (movie night, Coast Guard safety check ...). There is a nice atmosphere.

If the Oriental Marina & Inn 9 docks are full, this is where you'll be staying and it can be very rough when winds are high... and it's my understanding that the winds are always blowing hard here! The harbor bathrooms are old & tired, but clean, and it's a fairly long walk to the Tiki Bar & restaurant at the Marina & Inn. So - CALL AHEAD to get reservations at one of the 9 docks at the Marina & Inn!

We got an outside dock so it was a bit lumpy. Transient booking handled by the
Inn and Marina staff. Staff were good and showers very nice. Restaurant on site.
