Life moves slowly in this welcoming village. Boats and bikes rest against dock pilings and porch railings. Talking and walking may not be considered official recreational activities in most towns, but in Oriental, they fit with the feel of a quaint waterfront town where biking, sailing, kayaking, fishing, and boating are popular pastimes. Long known as the “Sailing Capital of North Carolina,” Oriental is blessed with wide waters, steady winds and easy access to dozen of creeks and estuaries.
