City/town information
Beaufort, a beautiful and historic port city, is known for its 200 year old houses and its most famous former resident, Edward Teach, more commonly known as the pirate Blackbeard. His ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, sank at the mouth of the harbor, and is a recurrent theme in the town. There are numerous restaurants in Beaufort, and they all rely on one treasure: The freshest seafood you can eat without catching it yourself. From the fleets of shrimp boats on the Newport River to the Gulf Stream boats bringing back the ocean's bounty, you just can't find better, fresher seafood.
