Such an interesting place with some pretty neat artifacts. The museum is free, but please be sure to donate so we can keep stuff like this free to the public. They have a pretty huge library in the back of the museum that is staged perfectly and you could spend a few hours in there honestly. If you’re ever in town, take a stop. There is free parking in the back, for museum guests only.
This museum had more than I expected. It had a display about the history of surfing I found interesting. But of course the big attraction is Blackbeard and pirate displays. It's a must see when visiting Beaufort.
Another great free museum in NC everyone should check out. Lots of artifacts on display from Blackbeard's ship the Queen Anne's Revenge that sunck not far off the coast. Also on display is a history of the maritime industry in eastern NC. Very informative. All the staff we interacted with were pleasant and helpful. This museum is free however, donations are welcome!
Very nice museum. Lots of interesting display and Blackbeard information. The museum will take some time going through as there is lots of stuff to read.
The layout is very easy, self guided and literally transports you back with various dioramas, pictographs, story boards, & pictures.
The museum is well maintained, very clean & generally quiet.
The entire museum is wheelchair accessible, including the bathrooms.

One of my favorite museums hands down! The NC Maritime Museum in Beaufort, NC has grown from a small waterfront museum to a maritime research facility. It has a boat building school, tours, and fantastic small marine library. The exhibits are detailed and very well done!
Don't forget to stop by the well-stocked gift shop on the way out.

The museum was a fantastic addition to our trip to Beaufort, NC. We went both days we were in town.
The legendary Blackbeard the pirate is highlighted in the museum explaining the Bigger than life escapades of pirate history. Explore the life of seamen on whale ships and the early history of the sea village of Beaufort.
Take a few extra monuments to relax in free library and explore the gift shop.
We’ll worth the visit!

What a wonderful museum! So much to take in give yourself a few hours. The museum is relatively small but is packed with great interactive displays! From learning about the North Carolina coastal habitats to Learning the history of Blackbeard this museum is fun for all ages! There’s no charge to visit the museum but they do except donations.
This is a great museum about maritime practices in the local area. Admission is free but the museum accepts donations. There is a robust pirate, Black Beard, and Queen Anne’s Revenge exhibit. It should take about 30-90 minutes to walk through all of the exhibits, depending on your interest level. There is a gift shop and a library with comfy chairs. It was under construction when we went so there may be more exhibits by the time you visit.
