NEIGHBORHOOD DESTINATIONS
Beaufort Town Docks sits along the scenic Beaufort waterfront, offering direct access to the tranquil waters of Taylor’s Creek and the Rachel Carson Reserve. Just steps from the docks, visitors can explore Beaufort’s charming historic district—home to beautifully preserved 18th- and 19th-century architecture, boutique shops, coastal eateries, and lively local events.
Strolling the waterfront boardwalk leads you past historic homes, maritime landmarks, and inviting storefronts that showcase the town’s rich coastal heritage. The surrounding neighborhood blends small-town charm with modern conveniences, making it an ideal destination for boaters, travelers, and day-trippers.
While staying at Beaufort Town Docks, you’re only minutes from popular Crystal Coast attractions such as the North Carolina Maritime Museum, wild horses of Shackleford Banks, and nearby beaches. The marina’s central location also provides easy access to local tours, eco-adventures, and transportation options that connect you to the wider region.
