Things To Do
Island Ferry Adventures
While it may be a little chilly for a beach day, this small ferry is a great way to check out surrounding islands near Beaufort. Wild horses, dolphins, and great shelling guaranteed!
Black Sheep Beaufort
Wood oven pizza - Our favorite spot for Sunday brunch breakfast pizza and pink champagne mimosas! Check out the Beaudega store next door for unique wines and quirky gifts!
Yellowfin Pub
A favorite for tuna nachos on the Morehead City waterfront! Head upstairs for even better water views.
Oceanana Pier & Pier House Restaurant
We love to grab a beer or frozen painkiller and go for a walk on the Oceana Pier. If it's warm enough, this is the spot to set up for a beach day or go for a stroll. The Pier House restaurant has a great outdoor space and delicious smoked fish dip!
Reed's Coffee + Art + Framing
A favorite for great coffee in a converted library. Try a flavored "jack" if you like cold coffee!
Historic Grounds Coffee Shop
Walkable, cozy coffee shop near downtown Beaufort. Nat's favorite is the churro cold brew, and we both love the buttered popcorn latte!
North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores
Located on the sound side of Pine Knoll Shores, the aquarium is cool inside and out on the wooded trail located on the grounds.
Olde Beaufort Farmers' Market
From 9-1 on Saturdays under the oak tress of the Beaufort Courthouse downtown.
Fishtowne Brew House
Local favorite for seasonal brews!
Rhumbar
THE spot for the best painkiller (cocktail ;) in town!
Backstreet Pub
Classic cozy local's bar with live music most nights of the week.
Royal James Cafe
The dive-iest bar in town with great cheeseburgers and billiards.
34° North Restaurant
Located inside the Beaufort Hotel, a beautiful spot for craft cocktails or Sunday brunch.
Fort Macon State Park
Great spot for hiking and local history.
Arendell Room Bar
Craft cocktails in a setting that feels more big city than beach town. You can still wear flip flops and cut off shorts here!
Carolina Home & Garden
Beautiful garden center with coffee, wine, beer, and food trucks. It is a little far out of town at about 45 minute drive from Beaufort, but still neat to check out if you have time.
Cru Wine Bar, Coffee Shop & Wine Store
Coffee, takeout breakfast options, wine, and live music. The after wedding party will most likely have a stop here Saturday night!
