- From La Salle turn right onto Erwin, then left onto Trent. Turn right onto NC 147 (the Durham Freeway) Heading South. Take 147 until it merges with I-40, East.
- Follow Interstate 40 East to Garner/Smithfield Highway 70 East, Exit 306.
- Follow Highway 70 East all the way to Beaufort (through Goldsboro—take the by-pass!—and through Kinston, New Bern, Havelock, and Morehead City). Highway 70 East becomes the main street, Arendell Street, through Morehead City.
- Continue on Highway 70 East through Morehead City over a highrise bridge (which crosses the Newport River). From the base of the bridge, it is .6 miles to the second right turn, which leads to the Duke University Marine Labs.
- Cross the railroad tracks and go straight over the very small bridge leading onto Pivers Island. Go straight to the parking lots at the back of the island.
