Beaufort Inlet & Core Sound, North Carolina
Beaufort & Cape Lookout
From Beaufort Inlet to Cape Lookout, a sweep of barrier islands, sounds and ocean approaches.
Beaufort and Morehead City meet the ocean through Beaufort Inlet, while Back Sound leads east toward Harkers Island and Cape Lookout. The cape's light flashes white every fifteen seconds. A broad landscape view holds the harbor approaches, sheltered passages and the turn of the coast together.
