Tourism Works: Discover Bertie County with the Launch of Destination Bertie

There has never been a better time to explore Bertie County.

The Bertie County Tourism Development Authority (TDA) has officially launched its new website and social media channels under the brand Destination Bertie, creating a central hub for discovering everything that makes this special corner of coastal North Carolina worth visiting.

Through the new site — destinationbertie.com — and social media presence @destinationbertie, visitors can easily explore the many experiences Bertie County has to offer. From scenic riverfront views and historic small towns to outdoor adventures, local events, and authentic eastern North Carolina culture, Destination Bertie highlights the places, people, and activities that make the county unique.

A Growing Tourism Destination

Bertie County is home to remarkable natural beauty and a deep sense of history. Visitors can enjoy:

  • Boating, fishing, and paddling along the Roanoke and Cashie Rivers

  • Exploring historic Windsor, one of North Carolina’s oldest towns

  • Discovering the region’s Civil War and colonial history

  • Experiencing local festivals, shops, and small-town charm

  • Enjoying the peaceful landscapes and wildlife that define the Inner Banks

  • Experiencing championship golf at Occano, one of North Carolina's most exciting courses

The new Destination Bertie platform brings these experiences together in one place, helping travelers plan trips and discover hidden gems throughout the county.

Growing the Game — and the Destination

At Occano, we are especially excited about the launch of Destination Bertie. As Bertie County continues to build awareness as a travel destination, we believe golf will play an important role in bringing visitors to the area.

Occano is designed to be a premier golf destination on North Carolina’s Inner Banks, offering a championship course and a community that celebrates the beauty of the surrounding landscape. As more people discover Bertie County through Destination Bertie, we look forward to welcoming golfers who want to experience both exceptional golf and the authentic charm of this region.

When Visitors Become Residents

One of the most powerful things about tourism is that it often leads to something more lasting. People visit a place, fall in love with it, and begin to imagine calling it home.

At Occano, we are already seeing that interest take shape. In addition to being a golf destination, Occano is also a growing residential community with homesites and real estate opportunities available for those who want to live where they love to play.

We believe the increased visibility created by Destination Bertie will benefit the entire region — helping more people discover Bertie County not only as a place to visit, but as a place to live, invest, and become part of the community.

A Partnership for the Future

Tourism growth benefits the entire community — from local businesses and restaurants to outdoor recreation and cultural attractions. We are excited to partner with Destination Bertie as they work to showcase Bertie County and attract visitors from across North Carolina and beyond.

Because when people discover Bertie County, great things happen.
