Diveshops in New Bern:

 New Bern

New Bern is a city in North Carolina, which is a state in the United States of America.

Get in


Generally, those who come to New Bern come in from Raleigh-Durham International Airport via rental car or (much less frequently) through the local airport, Craven Regional Airport. In the past, the Global TransPark in Kinston, North Carolina was to aid significantly in getting individuals to cities in eastern North Carolina (such as New Bern), but difficult times and lessened state legislative support for the Kinston airport has stagnated whatever hopes were to be made to increase commercial air traffic for the region. I-40 and I-95 are interstate highways that run relatively close to New Bern, which is located on NC Highway 43 and US Highway 17.

Get around


Rental cars are absolute necessities in the town in order to get around. Taxis are exorbitantly priced and rare.

See

  • Tryon Palace is a relic from the British colonial era in North Carolina, when this town was the capital of the colony. Admission is very cheap, the guides are quite knowledgeable, and the site itself has been quite well restored (even with a lack of dedication to it by state legislative appropriations).


    • Do


    There is sufficient shopping and eating to be done. Walking is not recommended anywhere that is not in downtown New Bern.

    Eat

  • The Flame is one of the better eating establishments in uptown New Bern. It has very good food ranging from US$15-US$40 per person.

  • Outback Steakhouse is locally considered the best chain dining establishment around. Make reservations well prior to when you intend to go; business is fast and waits can be over two hours. The prices per person range from US$15-US$35 if one does not request anything from the wine cellar.

  • The Chelsea is another well-established dining institution. It is rather expensive, yet very good. $40 per person is not unheard of.


    • Sleep

  • Hampton Inn 200 Hotel Drive (Shopping District), (252) 637-2111, One of the best values in town.

  • Sheraton New Bern Hotel Marina 100 Middle Street (Downtown), (252) 638-3585. Considered the most upscale of the inns in New Bern.

  • Days Inn 925 Broad Street (Downtown), (252) 636-0773. Central location, conveniently located.

  • Comfort Suites River Front Park 218 East Front Street (Downtown), (252) 636-0022. Located on one of the prime pieces of real estate in town.
