Bordered on three sides by the Croatan National Forest, Havelock, NC, is home to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, the largest Marine Corps Air station in the world.

Annually, Havelock hosts the free Cherry Point Air Show, featuring aerial displays of military and civilian aircraft, static displays of military high-tech equipment and spectacular fireworks, all of which entice more than 100,000 people to participate in the giant open house and celebration.

Havelock caters to visitors with familiar chain motels in various price ranges, family oriented restaurants, furniture and household furnishing stores and real estate services. Golf and boating are popular in the Havelock area. As visitors are often visiting with military members, activities at the base are opened to them, including marina launching facilities, clubs, recreation opportunities and boat rentals.

Havelock businesses and the Cherry Point Air Station non-military employees express appreciation to military families and service support people with competitive prices for goods and services. The Air Station reciprocates with open golfing facilities on the Neuse River and a number of programs open to the public. Real estate agents, restaurants, utilities, department and grocery stores, media and community services are described on this site, including free ferry services to Pamlico County and back provided by the N.C.
