Things To Do

Fort Macon State Park

It has a four mile loop that is fun to run, walk, or bike.

Tackle Box Tavern

A place to grab a beer after coming off the beach. Located at the circle.

Rhum Bar at Front Street Grill

A great dock bar and restaurant in Beaufort. Charles and I love the painkillers here.

The Shark Shack

An outdoor picnic table vibe. Yummy fish and shrimp tacos.

El's Drive-In

An old fashioned drive-in. The best shrimp burgers in town. I will most likely be eating one Sunday afternoon post-reception. Recommend with ketchup and slaw. CASH ONLY.

Amos Mosquito's Restaurant

A fun family-friendly seafood restaurant on the water with table top s'mores!

The Island Grille

A lovely, quaint restaurant. Some of the best food on the island. I lived on AB during COVID times and my weekly routine involved biking here on Monday or Tuesday evenings for their BOGO special and having a beach picnic, a gourmet treat for a broke grad student.

B T's Bar & Grill

A local's kind of place. Charles and I have spent time playing pool and queuing the juke box here. Cold beer, buffalo shrimp, and "Rich Girl" by Hall and Oates on the juke box is a great end to your late night shenanigans.

Beaufort

We recommend checking out this lovely area. Check out Front street and you'll find fun shopping, bars and restaurants on the waterfront.

North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores

Rucker Johns Restaurant

An American restaurant that I will go to solely for the croissants drizzled in honey butter.

Yanas Restaurant

Fun breakfast in a 1950's diner. Get the pancakes.

Flipperz Family Bar & Grill

A casual island eatery that has a good selection of food.
