Forget about the cooking and cleaning this Thanksgiving holiday, and instead indulge into a truly coastal feast that is brimming with history, local flavor, and plenty of fun. The Community Thanksgiving Feast at the Beaufort Historic Site is an anticipated local event that features a wealth of local and seasonal favorites, and is a great way to get into the spirit of this historic and friendly small southern town.

The annual feast is held at the Beaufort Historic Site, which is located in the heart of the downtown area and is within walking distance of most of downtown Beaufort. The gathering is old-fashioned, casual, and all-around engaging, with both old and new friends, locals and visitors, and anyone who wants to forego the cooking this year and enjoy a classic and deliciously prepared meal from start to finish. Dinner can be enjoyed underneath the sprawling tent on the Beaufort Historic Site’s grounds, and can also be available for take-out for folks who want to take their feast home to dig in. With plenty of turkey and all the fixings to go around, this classic community meal is a great way to meet and greet with friends and neighbors while enjoying the inherent community spirit of Beaufort.

Pine Knoll Shores

Pine Knoll Shores

The oceanside community of Pine Knoll Shores is a shining example of the Crystal Coast beach scene. Filled with charming vacation rentals, natural preserves, an acclaimed country club, and little else to draw attention away from the postcard perfect beaches, Pine Knoll Shores is a perfect beach lover's retreat. Located in between the western beaches of Emerald Isle and bustling Atlantic Beach, this beach town is just a five minute drive away from the Atlantic Beach Causeway, (the bridge which connects the mainland with the Bogue Banks), and yet feels miles away from everyday mainland life.
