Fabulous Fun Fall Getaways Week 8

It’s another amazing autumn in North Carolina, and we’re celebrating with ten weeks of Fabulous Fun Fall Getaways…And Giveaways! Through the middle of November, we’ll be taking you across the state, showing off our spectacular leaf color and bountiful fall fishing, as well as exploring harvests, vineyards, scenic drives and much more!

North Carolina's coast was home to scores of seafaring scoundrels in the 1700's, including Blackbeard, one of the most feared pirates of his era. Today, visitors can stage their own pirate invasion in festivals from Beaufort to Wilmington, gaze out over the spot where Blackbeard fought his last battle near Ocracoke, or even go diving on the presumed wreck of his flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Those wanting to stay dry while following Blackbeard's trail can find plenty of pirate items on display at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort. Then seek a pirate’s booty by signing up to win a great three-night stay on NC’s Emerald Isle. Yar, mateys!
