About Oriental: Where To Stay
Oriental is home to about 900 people – and some 2,700 boats. At mile marker 181 on the ICW, Oriental’s harbor and many marinas attract sailors and power boaters from a wide area. Home to Shops, Restaurants, Inns and B&Bs – the village is a popular stop for cruising sailors on their trek north and south. It’s a perfect town for a boat show.
