For those who must go down to the sea again, arrangements are available for captained day charters, deep-sea fishing, kayaking, sailing, and scuba diving. Landlubbers can golf, shop along the Beaufort waterfront, visit the North Carolina Aquarium, explore Fort Macon State Park,  Cape Lookout National Seashore, or go shelling and horseback riding on deserted beaches nearby. Close by on Harkers Island you may visit the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum where you can learn about the hunting and fishing traditions of Down East.

You may also take tours of Carrot Island, the Rachel Carson National Estuary or Shackleford Island where wild ponies frolic at water's edge.  Spend a quiet day exploring these lovely beaches, walking among the gentle horses that inhabit the islands. Three of the town's most popular attractions, the North Carolina Maritime Museum, the Beaufort Historic Site and the Old Burying Ground, which predates the birth of America, are within a few steps of our front door. Just two doors from the Cedars, The NC Maritime Museum has a  Blackbeard the Pirate exhibit with artifacts recovered from his flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge and a large scale model of the ship which sank at Beaufort Inlet in 1718.
