AAA Traveler - Summer 2020 - N21

Enjoy the personality and hospitality of these unique communities as you drive up the coast.

MYRTLE BEACH

NEW BERN

Sixty miles of white sand beaches is the main reason
thousands of tourists have flocked to Myrtle Beach for
decades. But, the Grand Stand has done much to enhance
its image beyond the beach - it's now a destination for
upscale shopping, golf and entertainment, as well.

The port city of New Bern, on the Neuse River, was the
colonial capital of North Carolina. History abounds-
older buildings are outstanding examples of American
architecture. If you'd rather hang at the beach, the Crystal
Coast is just a short ride.

STAY: HOLIDAY INN CLUB VACATIONS SOUTH BEACH
RESORT
This property is just a two-minute walk across the street
from the beach and the resort's Breezes Beach Club with
its thrilling Splash Cove and tranquil Lagoon Pool. Enjoy
spacious hotel-suite/condo-style studios, one- and twobedroom villas with full kitchens and washer/dryer.

STAY: HAMPTON INN NEW BERN.
Two and a half miles from Tryon Palace and downtown
New Bern, you'll get a taste of history at this ThreeDiamond Hampton Inn. Complimentary breakfast daily
and year round outdoor pool are just some of the amenities
available.

Situated between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic
Ocean, Wilmington is North Carolina's principal deepwater port and is home to some 30 miles of barrier island
beaches. Officially colonized in the 1720s, the 230-block
historic district is a treasure trove of cobblestone walkways,
a scenic river walk and fine old homes.

BEAUFORT

You've arrived in pirate country. Beaufort is the site of
Blackbeard's 1718 shipwreck Queen Anne's Revenge, so
pirate lore is embedded into the community. Take the ferry
to Shackleford Banks for a look at the wild horses who call
the island home.

Nestled on ten acres, the Beaufort Hotel offers the privacy
of a resort-style setting on the banks of Taylor's Creek with

accommodations and friendly staff that can introduce you
