Our local national seashore with a lighthouse and miles of beach. Must take a foot ferry from Harkers Island where there is a small museum too. Bring everything you need- food, water, sunscreen! Lots of shells sometimes.

Uninhabited island right across Taylors Creek from Beaufort’s waterfront. Wild horses - and they are wild so look from a distance. Shells and shallow water on the Oceanside. Ferries from Beaufort or canoe, kayak or paddle board over. Lots of small boats dock there too.

The whole county is full of surprises. And you have never seen a place with more boating! I like it best in the spring and fall when it’s not so hot. But it is fun swimming in the ocean in the summer.

Neighborhoods
All your basic shopping and an interesting waterfront with good restaurants in the older part of town. Fun to stroll late in the day. To the west of downtown are all the chain places you could possibly need.

Great restaurants and shops, history galore, and a waterfront to walk and see boats, people and dogs. Safe small town atmosphere. Historic homes dating to the 1700s.

Come on in, the water is great! Still be careful and swim where there are lifeguards. Rarely crowded and a clean wide beach. We face south here so there are sunrises and sunsets over the water. Food lion is your grocery store and Atlantic Theatre is in the same shopping center.

Harkers Island and further down east are small fishing villages that have been there for years. Now getting people “from off”, meaning out of Carteret County. Fun for a day trip and the ferry at Cedar Island at the end of the road takes you to Ocracoke. (Not a day trip- a 2 and 1/4 hour ferry each way.)
