Belhaven is a small town with less than 2,000 people living in the town, located right on the Pungo River. The Pungo feeds into the Pamlico Sound and the community maintains a historical and coastal connection. The Pamlico Sound separates the Inner Banks from North Carolina’s Outer Banks, and the waterfront views, fishing, boating, and small town community make Belhaven the perfect getaway. It’s location is also a perfect stopover for us before heading south on Pungo River.
I won’t lie, when people recommended us stopping in the Ace Hardware, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But we were pleasantly surprised with the home decor and women’s clothing selections, plus they have wine and cheese for sale. It was a fun and unexpected shop to stop and browse. I bought some stainless steel bolts and Claudia bought a sweater. Imagine that – Claudia, the fashion maven, bought a sweater from a hardware store.
Later the couple from Annapolis that followed us earlier invited us to dinner at a highly recommended local Mexican restaurant. We enjoyed their company but the food, not so much. But that’s on us for picking Mexican food and not Barbecue in North Carolina.
Belhaven looks like such a neat little town. I’d love to go to the Ace Hardware store to browse and shop!
Hi Karin … Hahaha .. However, no scratch tickets 😜😘
Nice story. Yes, definitely when in NC when given a dining choice the best bet it to opt for barbecue. The peach cobbler deserts, if home made are usually the best you’ll ever have. Enjoy!
Hi Gil… Great idea I’ll try peach cobbler and barbecue on are next stop.. tonight we are at anchor eating left over Mexican food .. I liked mine it was served in a pineapple called pineapple fajitas.😜 I wonder if they make that in Mexico 🧐😘
Hello friends! We love to read you!
We’re back home after a 12 days babysitting our 2 grandsons as Jerome and his lover were in France for vacation. We loved our Time with our grandsons even if we came back home a little bit tired as they have so much energy!
Have fun on your trip!
Hi Marie-France, Wow how lucky are you to spend 2 weeks with them! I’m so glad Jerome also got to spend a vacation in France too🤗
