Newport NC lies just west of Morehead City, and is the first community
reached when arriving in Carteret County on Highway 70. Flowing from the
northeast corner of newport is the Newport River, which eventually joins
Bogue Sound at the State Port in Morehead City before exiting to the atlantic
through Beaufort Inlet.
Comprised largely of year round family residences, other properties include
commercial, rental and agricultural land parcels. Close Proximity to havelock
NC and the Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station there contribute to a
number of military households.
