Thanks for the tip on crabbing. We love to crab. How long does it take to get there from Raleigh?

About 2 hrs, maybe 2 and change depending on how you drive. It's on us hwy 17 just north of bridgeton. It'll also put you only about another hour from the atlantic beach and the aquarium at pine knoll shores.
