Harbor Specialties

Harbor Specialties Main Shop on Middle Lane

After a couple of “detours” – creating shops in Pawley’s Island and Charleston - Susan Sanders and Len Anderson have returned to their roots. The original Harbor Specialties concept began 30 miles up the IntraCoastal Waterway from Beaufort, NC during their sailing days in Oriental, NC. So in a sense they're coming home or, at least, coming closer to home.

What began as one Beaufort shop has evolved and grown into three shops. The Main Shop and the Harborshop face Middle Lane. The Vera Bradley shop faces Craven Street - but all are in the same "complex." The stores are your one-stop choice for anything nautical—from clothing to coastal art and home décor.

Custom monogramming is a unique service at Harbor Specialties—adding that touch of elegance to most any product sold in the stores. The shop has a large in-house embroidery “machine” - a fascinating must-see!


While Susan “mans” the growing Beaufort shops, Len expertly crafts beautiful signage—not only those for the Harbor Specialties’, but many others around town.

Harbor Specialties is located in the heart of downtown Beaufort, NC—only a half block off Front Street, behind Clawson’s 1905 Restaurant.
