Eats & Activities
The Maritime Museum in Beaufort
The Beaufort museum is the repository for artifacts from Blackbeard’s wrecked flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge, lighthouses, the seafood industry and more. Beaufort is also filled with yummy restaurants and adorable houses and stores to walk around!
Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway
Miniature Golf Courses, Go Karts, and Bumper Boats (oh my)!
Island Express Ferry Service
Round-Trip Ferry Ride: Town of Beaufort Ferry Gateway → Cape Lookout Lighthouse & Return Trip - you might get lucky and see some wild horses!
Carolina Home & Garden
Garden center, cafe and beer/wine lounge, and arcade! Court recommends the matcha limemade - Evan recommends beer ;).
Fish Hut Grill
Super casual, very beachy, best shrimp tacos ever (ask anyone), and drinks that will solve all of your problems* - there is usually a long line but they serve you drinks and it moves fast! *No refunds will be given if your problems are not actually solved. Sorry!
il Cigno Italiano
If they had a bigger space, this would've been where we had our rehearsal dinner - cozy & elegant ambiance + all the carbs and wine. We LOVE this place.
Arendell Room Bar
A speakeasy feel with insanely good cocktails - indoor and outdoor seating available.
RedFish Grill & Bar
Seafood & cocktails offered in a relaxed venue with outdoor seating & water views.
Yellowfin Pub
Outdoor seating at high tops only but a perfect lunch spot if you're craving a beach sandwich!
Caribsea Restaurant
Serving locally sourced seafood, house-cured steaks and signature cocktails. Takes reservations, definitely not as casual as Fish Hut or Redfish :) If they aren't out of sushi, we highly recommend getting the nightly roll!
Riverside Steak & Seafood
Takes reservations. Swansboro is also adorable, beachy, and fun :).
Big Oak Drive-In & Bar-B-Q
Walk-up window serving smoked pork, burgers & seafood sandwiches, including a popular shrimp burger.
