Belhaven NC - 7/5/2008
Belhaven is a quiet little town, located on the inner banks - perfect for retirees. Fishing is good and boating is even better. Sail boats and other types of boats are abundant. We've even had cruise liners pass through. We have one grocery store, 3 gas stations, and an Ace Hardware in addition to several small privately owned shops. The politics in Belhaven have been in discord for years, with town council meetings being a joke until recently. Utilities rates are high.
