River Dunes is uniquely located on a 1,324 acre peninsula near the town of Oriental, North Carolina. Situated on the Neuse River where it meets the Pamlico Sound, the community’s waterfront location provides deep-water access to the nearby Intracoastal Waterway, coastal towns, cruising destinations and anchorages.
North Carolina stretches from the Appalachian mountains across urban centers to a stunning coastline that is protected by the beaches of the Outer Banks. Our vibrant state features outstanding universities, top-rated healthcare, a convenient mid-Atlantic location, and strong ties to the nation’s military. A coastal heritage of fishing and farming that created a regional revival of local flavors and goods.

The coastal towns around River Dunes are steeped in the waterman’s tradition – fishing, oystering, and sailcraft are still a vital part of the local economy. in a town where boats outnumber people 3 to 1 and breath-taking vistas wait around the next bend in the creek, you’ll quickly see why Oriental is “The Sailing Capital of the Carolinas”.
