New Year's Eve
The Dragon Run
Joe Cox and friends saw the dragon first in the sixties. The dragon makes it's yearly appearance on New Year's.  He/she comes out just after dark, lumbering down Hodges street as children (of all ages) bang pots to drive off evil spirits and bring in the new year. A second running of the dragon occurs closer to midnight. Come touch the dragon for luck as it makes its annual appearance in the town.

Fishing
The large shrimp boats in the harbor are your first clue: the fishing is good here by boat or shore. The harbor and local boat ramps provide easy access to the river and the sounds for all the sportfishing you can handle. Want to find the best spots? Charter one of the award winning local guides:

Sailing and Paddling
Sailing Charters have long been a favorite here. You can bareboat charter or have a Captain take you for a half day or full day sail.  Paddlers can find the supplies they need in Oriental. You can rent a canoe or kayak there as well.

The Sailing Schools offer one day introductory and five day comprehensive courses. Classes introduce the
beginning sailor to the theory of sailing in the classroom along with "hands-on" instruction on board.
