Bath: A City of Rich History
Known as the oldest port and first established town in North Carolina, Bath attracts thousands of visitors each year with its fascinating historical attributes and Bath hotels. The town amazes people who want to travel back in time with its centuries old buildings, including the state’s first church built in 1734, the St. Thomas Episcopal Church. All year long, tourists can visit through Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU).
Best Time to Visit
April, May, and October are the best months to enjoy the charm of historic Bath. While it is possible for tourists to get the state’s full perspective in one day by foot, it is recommended to book a Bath hotel prior to visit as the city could get really jam-packed during peak season.
What to Do & Area Attractions
Not much has changed since the town was established. Tourists can enjoy a glimpse of the past by visiting the centuries-old infrastructures like the Palmer-Marsh House or the Bonner House. With the port around and the nearness of the Pamlico Sound, the largest lagoon in North Carolina, there’s plenty of fresh seafood and great fishing and canoeing activities all year round.
One of the best Bath hotels is Days Inn by Wyndham Washington. Comfortable, well-equipped bedrooms welcome guests after a long day out. But if you are planning to enjoy the rich history in Main Street, The Inn on Bath Creek is an ideal option. Just 200 meters from the creek, boat rides and water activities are possible anytime.
