Beaufort Town Docks (Statute Mile 201)
On 7/24/09, as part of a “North Carolina Wish List,” I posed the following question:
39. Whether you approach Beaufort by way of the Russell Slue ‘“ Gallant Channel, or the charted channel coming in from Beaufort Inlet, this is one of the most popular ports of call in North Carolina, or anywhere else on the Waterway for that matter. Again, I know MANY of you visit Beaufort time and time again. Please share your recommendations and observations concerning this historic, exciting community with your fellow cruisers.

June 28-29, 2009. I spent a delightful time at the Beaufort Town Docks. The dockmaster was friendly and helpful. The Boardwalk Cafe has a great breakfast buffet. I enjoyed the pancakes. While some people want to sit outside I found it nicer in the air conditioned inside at a high table where I could look out along the boats in the harbor and I did not need to wait for a table.The Maritime Museum is excellent. I spent a happy few hours there. One warning. If you go in their excellent library and sit in a soft chair to read their current sailing magazines you will probably fall aslelep.
Keep up the good work.

We are currently in Beaufort and are doing the tourist things. We are happily anchored across from the US Post office, in about 12 feet of water, well `INTO’ the channel. I was at the museum when it opened this morning and stsyed for four hours. It is a fun spot to be.

We love Beaufort. Cute shops and great restaurants. We suggest you try The Grocery for lunch or dinner. Courtesy cars available and wooden nickels for free beer at the marina restaurant. Hard to beat.
