• This Coast of North Carolina Is the Outer Banks the Way They Used to Be (myfamilytravels.com) — Beaufort figures prominently in this Crystal Coast guide, from wild horses on nearby Shackleford Banks to the relaxed, historic charm of Front Street and the North Carolina Maritime Museum’s Blackbeard exhibits.
