Things to do in Beaufort

Beaufort is one of North Carolina’s oldest towns, a fishing and shipping port where Front Street’s eighteenth- and nineteenth-century homes look across Taylor’s Creek to wild islands. Blackbeard’s flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge, ran aground at Beaufort Inlet in 1718, and artifacts from the wreck are now on display in town. Beaufort anchors the Crystal Coast with Morehead City, Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle, where the economy turns on tourism, boating, commercial and recreational fishing, marine research and second homes.
