Never heard of Carteret County?!?!?!?!?!
Founded in 1722 Carteret County is located in North Carolina to the south of Craven and Pamlic County, the southeast of Hyde County, the east-northeast of Hyde County, and to the east-southeast, Carteret County was named for Sir George Carteret, one of the 17th century English lords Propeietor.
Whats there to do?
A better question is, what CANT you do? Carteret County has a bunch of natural landmarks like the Cape Lookout National Seashore, the Ceder Island National Wildlife Refuge, and the Croatan National Forest. If you don't want to visit the natural landmarks you can do a lot of land and sea activities such as boating, art galleries, and the nightlife, etc...
Government Anyone?
