Beaufort, NC

Beaufort, NCCoastal North Carolina is a special place. With its wonderful beaches and sleepy little towns, people from all over the United States flock to the region for the great seafood, water sports, and relaxed pace. It’s flat-out a wonderful place to be.

Beaufort NC is the third oldest town in North Carolina, after Edenton and Bath, having been founded in 1704, which is two to three generations before the United States even declared independence from Great Britain. The county seat of Carteret County, Beaufort NC is part of what locals refer to as the Inner Banks of North Carolina.

Census records indicate 4,200 people live full-time in Beaufort NC, which may be a bit surprising given the relatively small footprint it covers in Carteret County. And while still “small town North Carolina” when compared to Greenville NC, Jacksonville, or the mega-cities like Charlotte and Raleigh, the number of people in Beaufort and surrounding towns, during peak vacation periods, can easily swell to over 100,000.

Beaufort NC booms during the summertime. In peak season, we see a substantial increase in the numbers of injuries as the result of car accidents and boating accidents. We also see increased NC Work Comp claims, with workers also flocking to Carteret County to work in service-related industries – Kevin Jones, NC Accident Lawyer
