    • Pleasant Visit to Columbia City Dock, Columbia, NC, on the Scuppernong River

      Columbia City Dock – Click for Chartview

      We wish more cruisers would choose to depart the familiar confines of the AICW, and cruise west on Albemarle Sound to this impressive body of water’s many anchorages and ports of call. The Scuppernong River, which makes into the sounds southern banks, west of Alligator River, is one of the best destinations for Albemarle Sound cruising, and the free (for 48-hour) Columbia Town Docks are a great place to rest from your travels. Or, you could choose to pick up a wet slip at Cypress Cove Marina (see below). Either way, it’s well worth your time, IF the Albemarle does not have its dander up!

      We spent the 17th and 18th at the Columbia town docks. This is a very nice place to visit. The docks are limited in space with room for just 3 or 4 boats. Because of this we had to raft next to a friends boat as all the space was full.
      Because it was Saturday no one was at the office but bathroom was open and clean and it has a very nice shower.
      We had a great meal that night at Old Salt Oyster Bar and Sunday morning we had a good breakfast at Mikes.
      All in all this is a very good place to cruise into and stay for a night or two.
