The Point

The Point, also known as Old Point or Black’s Point, is one of Beaufort’s five historic neighborhoods. Unlike the rest of the city, this area does not follow the standard city-grid planning system; instead, it was once entirely owned by a single resident until the 19th century. Today, visitors can stroll through a charming collection of Queen Anne and Victorian-style homes, each contributing to the neighborhood’s distinct character. The unique layout and architectural heritage make The Point a delightful area to explore, offering a glimpse into Beaufort’s rich history.
