Living the Coastal Life: Location & Lifestyle Around Beaufort/Harkers Island

Beaches, Waterways & Island Escapes

One of the biggest draws of this property is its proximity to water—and there's no shortage of coastal adventures:

• The Harkers Island Beach & Boat Ramp is nearby. It offers a modest sandy beach, boat launches, and access to the Back Sound and surrounding waters.
   
• From there, you can reach the Cape Lookout National Seashore (including Shackleford Banks) via ferry. These barrier islands are famous for wild horses, unspoiled beaches, and excellent shelling.
   
• In the Beaufort area, Radio Island Public Beach Access is a nearby local option for beach time.
   
• For visitors and shell-seekers, ferry services depart from Beaufort (e.g. via Island Express Ferry) to Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout.
   

All of this makes your future home a perfect launching point for coastal escapes, day trips, or quiet evenings by the water.
