Weโ€™ve been telling you about itโ€”now we have the pictures to prove it! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŽฃ

Bassmaster Elite anglers Jacob Powroznik and Cory Johnston were out on our waterways today, getting in some practice. Bassmaster Elite anglers can fish our waters until March 10th. After that date, our waters are off limits until โ€œpracticeโ€ days directly preceding the April 10-13 tournament. (Bassmasters rules, not ours ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Jacob and Cory are two of the nicest guys you could meet. ๐Ÿค We had a great conversation about event site logistics. Both are genuinely excited about fishing in Elizabeth City, and we canโ€™t wait to welcome themโ€”and all the anglersโ€”back for the Bassmaster Elite tournament April 10-13! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŸ

Visit Elizabeth City is thrilled to host the tournament which coincides with our Hooked on the Harbor festival April 12-13. ๐ŸŽ‰

Start Your Adventure Here

Welcome to the Harbor of Hospitality!

We invite you to visit our little home located on the shores of the broad and picturesque Pasquotank River. If you are looking for a friendly and laid-back destination, we might be what you are looking for. You will most likely leave here having made a new friend or two.

What will you find when you visit? Cypress trees rising from our waterways, Blackbeardโ€™s cannon in the Museum of the Albemarle, four neighboring state parks, ghosts of the underground railroad, and one of the best sailing breezes on the east coast.

Over the centuries, our destination has served as a starting point for explorers and adventurers such as the Wright brothers because of our central location on the coast.
