New Bern	Text Size:
A Historic Coastal North Carolina Town New Bern’s heritage dates back to the early 1700s as NC’s colonial state capital. Tall, towering church steeples and clock towers stretch skyward. Crisp white sails flutter in the coastal breeze. The Trent and Neuse rivers converge to surround a vibrant downtown waterfront. The mind and body leisurely wander the cobblestone sidewalks past quaint boutiques, art and antique stores, cafés and other fine restaurants. Historic homes and gardens are a short stroll away. Daily cares float downstream past piers, marinas and riverfront parks. New Bern Map
