Welcome to North Carolina! This year’s North Carolina Travel Guide contains
a wealth of information on the many unforgettable attractions that make our
state a favorite year-round travel destination.
From interactive race-car experiences to some of the East Coast’s best scuba
diving, North Carolina offers a wide variety of activities for those who enjoy
excitement. But the state also provides many opportunities to step back, take
a breath of fresh air and relax at a quieter pace.
It’s the simple pleasures that count – those that create lasting memories
without costing a lot. Strolling along a scenic coastal waterfront, fly-fishing in
a mountain stream or enjoying a concert under the stars are just a few of the
ways to relax, step back from the hectic pace of everyday life and remember
what truly matters.
As you travel the Tar Heel State, I encourage you to experience the best that
we have to offer. You will come to discover what our proud citizens already
know – that there is no better place to be.
Sincerely,
Topsail Beach

The history of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is told at
the Mountainside Theatre in Cherokee each summer. Since
1950, the outdoor drama Unto These Hills has attracted families
looking for an enriching cultural experience.
Other worthwhile stops in Cherokee include the Qualla Arts &
