Welcome
Hi and welcome to the Sea-Turtle Cottage in historic New Bern, NC.
We thought you might like some recommendations from us on things to do in town. We are relatively new here ourselves and spend a lot of time enjoying the local businesses.
The center of town is considered the corner of Pollock & Middle Streets where the Pepsi store is located. It’s about 3 blocks from the Sea Turtle Cottage.
Consider taking the local Trolley Tour - 90 minute guided tour of New Bern. 252-637-7326 or www.new Bern tours.com for tickets.
