Things to Do
Welcome to Coastal NC!
There’s a reason Beaufort has been crowned by publications like Travel + Leisure, USA Today, and Southern Living as one of America’s coolest, quirkiest, and most adventurous small towns.
By the way: Beaufort, NC is pronounced: “Bow-fort," not to be confused with Beaufort, SC which is pronounced “Byou-fort!"

Fort Macon State Park
It’s free to enter and a great place to visit to learn a little history and take in the scenery. The fort was initially built to guard Beaufort Harbor between 1826 and 1834. The fort was temporarily seized by Confederate troops in 1861 during the Civil War. It was also used in the Spanish-American War in 1898 and again during World War II from 1941-1945.
Surrounded by 3 sides of water (Atlantic Ocean, Beaufort Inlet, and Bogue Sound) there are several beach access points at the park. There’s also nearly 5 miles of walking trails.
