Coastal Ride Off the Bike Stops
Coffee, Ice Cream & Beer
Our campsite at the 2025 Coastal Ride will be situated along the Pasquotank River, just blocks away from downtown Elizabeth City which offers restaurants, cafés, colorful murals plus a variety of independent specialty shops and boutiques. Coffee shops, ice cream parlors and breweries are always some of our riders’ favorite stops before or after a day of riding and there are no shortage of those in Elizabeth City. While in town, you will definitely want to stop by some of the locals’ favorites including Kraken Coffee House, Seven Sounds Brewing, Harbor Treatz, Ghost Harbor Brewing and Muddy Waters Coffeehouse.
