Down East

Down East is a beautiful, rugged area that begins east of Beaufort and stretches to Cedar Island. It is steeped in history. Boat building, fishing, boating, praying and surviving are its strong suits, and make no mistake, the residents of Down East are strong.
If you weren't born there, you're from "off" and if you relocate there, you're a "Dit-Dot,"or "Dingbatter."
