 Cruising Carolina: The Sounds is the fourth program in the multiple EMMY nominated series and introduces viewers to charming coastal towns and villages like Hatteras, Manteo, Plymouth, Columbia, Bath, Belhaven and Washington to name a few.  The program explores the rivers and sounds, large and small, that make this part of the North Carolina coastline so unique.
