Morehead City – Beaufort Info (Statute Mile 201 to 205)
Captain Han’s short but incredibly newsy note below contains some real gems when it comes to a visit to the Morehead City – Beaufort region. Note this dynamic cruising duo had a good meal at Morehead’s Ruddy Duck Tavern (252-726-7500), and then moved on to anchor in Beaufort’s Taylor Creek. And, they found additional swing room by cruising just a bit farther to the east on this body of water.
Good advice all the way around. I would only add that two more excellent dockage alternatives on the Morehead City side are Morehead City Yacht Basin, one of the finest marinas you will find anywhere (and a SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR) and the new Morehead City Public/City Docks, found at the western end of the downtown waterfront. Both are linked below.
Typically we stay at Morehead and eat at the Ruddy Duck. This trip it was Saturday and we arrived at lunch so we were asked not to stay at Ruddy Duck beyond lunch and monopolize the dock. The point is that we ended up anchoring in Taylor Creek. I have always been put off by the crowded anchorage but we just meandered eastward up the creek and found lots of swinging room a short way up.
The new Sanitary Restaurant docks are great even if you have to pay.
