Elizabeth City, NC
Known as the Harbor of Hospitality, Elizabeth City is a waterfront community on the eastern seaboard, just 45 minutes from the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area of Virginia and adjacent to North Carolina’s legendary Outer Banks. Whenever five boats or more come into the harbor at the same time‚ they are feted with a wine and cheese party sponsored by the Rose Buddies‚ a group dedicated to extending a warm welcome to Elizabeth City’s visitors. Among its many accolades, Elizabeth City has been named one of “The 100 Best Small Towns in America” three times by author Norm Crampton.
