Wander the historic waterfront where weathered fishing boats bob alongside gleaming yachts in this third-oldest town in North Carolina. The Maritime Museum chronicles Blackbeard's notorious exploits, while locals pronounce their town 'BO-furt' with a touch of pride. Wild horses roam freely at nearby Rachel Carson Reserve, visible from waterfront benches where fishermen spin tales as tall as their catches. Board a ferry to Cape Lookout National Seashore for beaches untouched by development. The Duke Marine Laboratory attracts scientists who mingle with locals at seafood shacks serving just-caught flounder. Historic homes line streets where ancient live oaks create natural archways, and the Old Burying Ground tells stories of sailors, soldiers and a little girl buried in a rum barrel.
