Understand
Havelock is home to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, the world's largest Marine Corps Air Station, and home to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. Many travelers who come to Havelock will have business at the MCAS. However, the hotels in town are much cheaper than those closer to the beach, so it provides a cheap place to stay while exploring the Crystal Coast or the Croatan National Forest.
Get in
Those who come to Havelock by air come in from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) via rental car or through the airport in New Bern, Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (EWN), with flights on American Airlines and Delta.
