Plan Yer Visit

The first reenactment of the invasion of Beaufort
The first reenactment of the Invasion of Beaufort took place in July 1960. Last year marked our 60th Anniversary of the first reenactment.

The Spanish Attack of Beaufort started in the spring of 1747 and continued for several months until local militia finally drove the pirates away. In 1960, Grayden Paul and the Beaufort Fire Department reenacted that Invasion. Over the many years since, we have celebrated that part of our history and the Invasion has become Beaufort’s largest annual event. Join us this year for our 60 year anniversary of the Beaufort Pirate Invasion!

In 2017, we became a non-profit 501 c3 charitable organization with the mission of helping to preserve our local coastal history and heritage and to support other non-profits who share our vision. All of our staff and committees are volunteers and all funds are from donations, sponsorships, fundraisers, and sales from the event. Our physical arm of BPI is The Cannon Crew, who travel the coast(and many times inland) to perform, entertain, and do living history and reenactments at other events. We also serve museums, local schools and libraries. Many of these other events also generate money for our event and last year we brought over $5000 back to homeport. Please donate to help support our continued effort to keep our history alive.

Beaufort is an historic seaside town located on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast at the southern tip of the Outer Banks. Visitors will delight in all the area has to offer, from fishing and golf to beaches and boating. In addition to the Beaufort Pirate Invasion, with a host of restaurants, shops, and quaint accommodations, you’re sure to thoroughly enjoy your time in Beaufort.

Visit the official website for North Carolina’s Crystal Coast for a complete listing of local accommodations, businesses, and attractions.

Come stay at some of our favorite places on the Crystal Coast and be a pirate with us!
