Complete Walking History and Movie Tour of Beaufort Photos (21)
The Beaufort is a 74-mile-long barrier island off the coast of North Carolina. It is next to Hatteras Island, where the famous Hatteras Lighthouse was built in 1727. It gets its name from a family of French Huguenots who arrived in 1562 and settled on lands granted to them by John White, the first colonial governor of North Carolina. They were given land for free but were required to defend their new homeland against Spanish raiders.
