Beaufort, NC - Crystal Coast's Gem

"Picturesque and historic, Beaufort is noted as
the third best small town in the south east"

– Southern Living Magazine.

You will really enjoy spending time in the quaint, historical seafaring town of Beaufort. The richness of the town’s culture combined with all the services you will need to make your stay at MainSail complete, establishes it as one of the best small towns in America.

Take a leisurely walk or a carriage ride along Front Street, in the waterfront district of Beaufort. Stop along the way to shop and dine, or book a dolphin cruise or kayak expedition. And, there is nothing more relaxing that kicking back with a beer dockside - watching boats and yachts motor in and out of this active seaport.

A town unharmed by progress, Beaufort retains the charm of its early days by preserving the footprints left by Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers, infamous pirates including Blackbeard, and North Carolina’s earliest settlers. You can spend days touring historical sites, weathered tombstones and over 100 historic homes on the national register.
