Welcome to Ayden, North Carolina!

Grab some nationally acclaimed barbecue at the Skylight Inn and then a sweet treat at Gwendy's Goodies before you peruse the unique shops along Main Street. Ayden is a hidden gem just fifteen minutes south of Greenville and East Carolina University that offers an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
