The Seagull Cafe is a favorite place for the many farmers and workers in the area.

The Seagull Is Not Open For Sunrise, But The View Then Is Also Spectacular!


The trout is prepared incredibly and they make the most delicious shrimp you will ever taste. The cooks are simply the best.

Inner Banks Scenic Parkway Well Received By Commissioners

Inner Banks Scenic Parkway

A group of Inner Banks citizens are so excited by this proposal that they are taking on the task of communication of the concept to all of the government entities affected. They are also forming a group of eco-tourism interested parties to take over promotion of the idea to the NCDOT and state government. This group is called the Inner Banks Scenic Parkway Task Force. So far they have presented their plan to Hertford County and Washington County last week, and yesterday presented to Gates County, Beaufort County and Bertie County Commissioners.

In all cases, the presentation was positively received. Everyone agrees this is a great idea and needs to move forward.
