BEAUFORT, NC – PIRATE TOWN AND PLACE OF MANY TREASURES

Downtown Beaufort NC waterfront 

Beaufort is a small town near the Outer Banks in North Carolina. We were to be visiting the other one ‘way down there’ in a couple of days time. 

Wild ponies at Shackleford Island

I breathed in the fresh sea air as we sped along in the boat over to Shackleford Island to spend the morning chasing wild horses and collecting shells.

Self- Guided walking tour of Beaufort, NC

A retiree from New York, volunteering in the visitor’s center, talked to us of her slow and peaceful life in Beaufort. 

Blackbeard’s place

There at the end of our tour sat Hammock House-the oldest in the town, which once served as a pirate inn and the place where Blackbeard is documented to have stayed when in town.
