Small Town Charm/Downtown Shopping |
|
A great place to shop in a viable downtown with antique and boutique shops. Finding that special gift for any occasion is a treat. Enjoying a great lunch in one of our fine restaurants makes for a nice interlude during this fine day of shopping. Other activities to be enjoyed while visiting are guided walking and trolley tours from our Visitor Center, exhibits and handmade gifts from the Arts Council Gallery and a little peak in the Barker House former home of Penelope, organizer of the 1774 Edenton Tea party are a must.

Romance |
|
Edenton is home to many fine inns within their historic district. These inns make a nice place for couples to enjoy a little R & R as well as a little romance. History, wonderful architecture and pretty gardens make the setting irresistible for leisurely walks, bike rides and little hand-holding. |

Edenton Harbor not only can welcome overnight sailors but can also rent kayaks to want-to-be paddlers. Paddle our creeks, sound and rivers with wonderful wildlife and do not miss the Cannons Ferry Heritage River Walk where herring fishing played an important role in our community and is now a paddlers dream. Camping platforms on Holladay's and John's Island now
give paddlers an opportunity for a little overnight adventure. |
