As autumn paints the Carolinas in russet and gold, journey from the mountains to the coast for a serene five-day escape to Beaufort, gateway to the Southern Outer Banks. Here, maritime heritage, wild natural beauty, and Southern charm blend seamlessly. Unpack once at the award-winning Beaufort Hotel, set on ten peaceful acres overlooking Taylor’s Creek, and explore the windswept shores, lighthouses, and barrier islands that define North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.

From a visit to the pristine beaches of Ocracoke Island, rich with pirate lore, to the sight of wild horses grazing along the Rachel Carson Reserve, each day unfolds like a watercolor of coastal light and motion. Between adventures, indulge in the region’s famed seafood, watch sunsets from the dock, and savor the easy rhythm of life by the water.
