Finish your day with dinner at one of Bath’s restaurants with a cold one in North Carolina’s oldest town.
AURORA Take a delightful ride on the Bayview Ferry on the east side of Bath to Aurora. A large phosphate mine in the area gives both paleontologists and fossil enthusiasts a unique opportunity to collect and study fossils from prehistoric times. The Aurora Fossil Museum, located in town, includes a wide variety of marine fossils from the Pleistocene, Pliocene and Miocene eras, as well as Native American artifacts from the area. For lunch, savor a shrimp basket and a piece of lemon meringue pie from a nearby restaurant.
