City advice
Don't miss
Boat charters and Cape Lookout
There are many options downtown Beaufort for fishing through charter boats, taking the ferry out to the surrounding islands and Cape lookout, and even riding kid friendly pirate boats. Research Cape Lookout if you are looking for something to occupy an entire day. I would not recommend Cape Lookout in the winter for swimming activities.
