ElKabongBeaufort North Carolina is nothing short of spectacular
Shhhhh… don’t tell everyone!
We go at least once a year and stay down the road
in Atlantic Beach/Enerald isle area
The other Beaufort in SC is pretty cool too, we stayed there when picking our son up at Parris Island
If you go again, cross the bridge to Atlantic Beach and try Amos Mosquitos restaraunt
Some weeks we never see another vehicle with WV license plates, lol, trying to keep it that way!

got2hav1Spent some time there. A great place to visit. We stayed at Indian Beach this year. I was amazed at the lack of traffic compared to the OBX to the North. Also the OBX rental prices have really gone up.

ScotP7Awesome photos and travelogue.
Yes, wonderful part of the world, but my descriptions wouldn’t have done it justice.
Thanks for posting.

Yep! I REALLY need to get my scuba license.
The aquarium at Pine Knoll has a replica of U-352 that is really neat.

The Great Santini takes place in Beaufort.
The movie of the same name was filmed in the area, as was the movie
The Big Chill
The Great Santini is set in Beaufort (that's Byoofert) South Carolina. The book is set in the fictional town of Ravenal.

Thanks for the correction...OP is referring to Beaufort, NORTH Carolina, vs South Carolina as in the book/movie

fiasconvaStickman, you could be right. It was years ago and I think its name was McGhee's pier or something like that. Thanks for the reply and info.
