10 WELCOME TO BEAUFORT
BeaufortWELCOME TO
PORT ROYAL & THE SEA ISLANDS
Since the first visitors set foot on our captivating coastline in 1514, the Lowcountry has had a uniquely transformative effect. Maybe it’s something in the magnetic pull of the tide, the sun-warmed salt air or jasmine-filled gardens. A slower, sweeter pace where moss-draped live oaks dance with the breeze and Antebellum mansions look out over historic streets. Where Gullah descendants weave artwork from sweetgrass as fishing boats dot a glimmering harbor and evening brings a spectacular watercolor sunset. Come discover for yourself why Southern Living named Beaufort “The South’s Best Small Town,” or why Garden & Gun calls us a “Southern Dream Town.” Come find your inner coastal.
WELCOME TO BEAUFORT 11
Welcome to Beaufort, SC, a Lowcountry gem nestled conveniently
between Charleston and Savannah along the protected Intracoastal Waterway. We pride ourselves on providing visitors a rich experience immersed in centuries of history, a unique Gullah heritage, fresh-caught cuisine, vibrant annual events and festivals, local arts and thrilling outdoor recreation. There are so many unique facets to Beaufort and the surrounding areas—stories and people you’ll find nowhere else on earth. Walk where the Reconstruction Era was born, climb the state’s only lighthouse open to the public and explore life on a historic Marine Corps military base. We hope you enjoy your time in the Lowcountry, and life with the tides, as much as we do.
Sincerely,
Billy Keyserling Mayor of Beaufort

About the AreaRich in history, Southern charm and modern amenities, Beaufort County encompasses hundreds of miles of sun-warmed coastline and more than 200 sea islands, most of which remain wondrously pristine.
Located between Savannah and Charleston on South Carolina’s
Atlantic Coast, the area is blissfully easy to access and explore.
While Beaufort proper remains the area’s queen belle, with
Antebellum mansions, sail-dotted bays and fashionable boutiques,
the town’s outlying areas each offer a distinctive experience.
14 WELCOME TO BEAUFORT
PORT ROYAL ENJOY: South of Beaufort, the town of Port Royal lures with fresh seafood and preserved natural beauty.
EXPLORE: Port Royal prides itself on gifts from the sea, and encourages visitors to see and taste the treasures. For a catch-of-the-day meal, dine while overlooking the Lady’s Island Marina at Dockside Restaurant. Get to know the feathered locals along the trails of the freshwater wetland bird sanctuary, or climb to the top of the observation tower at the boardwalk and watch dolphins frolic in Battery Creek. Visit Cypress Wetland Park to get up-close with the area’s native plants and wildlife right in the heart of downtown. Soak up the sights on the trails, boardwalk and pier.
EXPERIENCE: The area’s natural splendor complements a manmade beauty in Union Church. Built in 1878, the church features the original windows, bell tower and bronze bell.
BEAUFORT
ENJOY: Remember those idyllic towns of yore, where locals smiled at newcomers, shady lanes meandered through walkable neighborhoods and the highlight of the day involved a stroll along the riverfront? Well, Beaufort has always been that way—and it’s never changed.
EXPLORE: Downtown Beaufort entices with small town charm. One-of-a-kind shops and galleries line historic Bay Street. Upscale and casual restaurants offer menus built around local cuisine and opportunities for alfresco dining. Independent bookstores stocked with classics, many by locals, make it easy to lose an hour—or an afternoon.
EXPERIENCE: Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park winds along the glistening Beaufort River, rewarding strollers with a vista of marsh islands and intersecting waterways. Horse-drawn carriages transport riders through yesteryear in “The Point,” an antebellum neighborhood where elegant mansions stand beneath moss-strewn oaks.

WELCOME TO BEAUFORT 15
PARRIS ISLAND ENJOY: To understand the military influence on this area, one needs to look no further than Parris Island.
EXPLORE: The Marine Corps Recruit Depot graduates nearly 20,000 Marine Corps recruits annually. Family members—and interested visitors—can watch recruits officially become Marines by attending one of the weekly graduation ceremonies. At the 10,000-square-foot Parris Island Museum, thousands of artifacts tell the story of the Marines’ history and traditions.
EXPERIENCE: Play a round of golf at Parris Island’s Legends Golf Course, ranked among the world’s top 10 military courses. Fringed by pines and salt marshes, it challenges Marines and civilians alike.
HUNTING ISLAND ENJOY: With its exotic maritime forest of palmettos and pines, the utterly unspoiled atmosphere of Hunting Island State Park feels like a place from another time. And, with camp-sites and a rental cabin just steps from the beach, it’s the perfect weekend—or week-long—getaway.
EXPLORE: The 5,000-acre park features 8 miles of well- maintained trails. The family, and Fido; pets are welcome year-round, can frolic on 5 miles of pristine beach. Loll by the lagoon or cast a line from the fishing pier. At the Nature Center, exhibits and daily programs interpret area flora and fauna.
EXPERIENCE: For a view from above, climb the spiral staircase of the circa-1859 Hunting Island Lighthouse, the only lighthouse in South Carolina open for climbing.
Tour the TownNo matter your interest or mode of transportation, this area beckons you to get out and explore. Take a horse and buggy carriage tour around “The Point” and the Beaufort National Historic District as expert guides tell stories about the homes, local history, even celebrity gossip. If you’d rather see the sights on your own two feet, there are several walking tours available. Local historians lead tours that get up-close with historic homes. If pedaling is more your speed, rent a bike from Lowcountry Bicycles or City Java to explore at your own agenda and pace. For a different perspective, climb aboard a boat tour. Several guided tours take you along the Beaufort River or the ACE Basin, or rent a kayak from Higher Ground.
16 WELCOME TO BEAUFORT
LADY’S ISLAND ENJOY: Located just across the bridge from downtown Beaufort, Lady’s Island presents more fun both on land and at sea.
EXPLORE: Golfers rave about the densely wooded Lady’s Island Country Club. Boaters set sail for Lady’s Island Marina, an ideal home base for navigating the area’s waterways.
EXPERIENCE: Chow down on crab legs, clams and shrimp at any of several seafood shanties, including the seriously casual The Original Steamer Oyster & Steakhouse, a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
ST. HELENA ISLAND ENJOY: The heart of the Gullah community beats strongest on St. Helena Island.
EXPLORE: Homespun restaurants serve authentic Gullah fare rich with local seafood and produce. Gullah descendants carry on the African culture, most noticeably with their signature, intricately woven sweetgrass baskets Look for roadside stands in the Frogmore area of the island, or you might find weavers like “Miss” Jery Taylor plying her trade on the porch of Gullah Grub restaurant.
EXPERIENCE: Penn Center served as the country’s first school for freed slaves and later played a role in the
Civil Rights movement; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reportedly began his “I Have a Dream” speech at the center. Today, this oak-shaded compound of wooden cabins and community buildings offers educational and cultural programs related to the history of the Sea Islands.
WELCOME TO BEAUFORT 17
HARBOR ISLAND
ENJOY: Good times rule on this private, gated island dotted with rental homes and 2.5 miles of unspoiled beach.
EXPLORE: Locals and vacationers soak up live music and happy hour at Johnson Creek Tavern. More fun unfolds at Barefoot Bubba’s, a collection of vibrantly painted shacks overflowing with funky, beach-themed souvenirs and plenty of Jimmy Buffett songs.
EXPERIENCE: Beach house decks provide the perfect vantage point for nature watching, whether it’s vibrant sunsets sinking behind sea-oats-studded sand dunes or terns, pelicans, egrets and herons sashaying in the breeze.

FRIPP ISLAND ENJOY: Literally at the end of the road, Fripp Island is the most seaward of South Carolina’s
barrier islands and offers the feel of a private, gated community.
EXPLORE: Fripp provides 3 miles of Atlantic beach, plus a full-service marina for exploring the surrounding marshes. Along with exclusive accommodations—oceanfront homes to fairway villas—Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort offers amenities such as tennis, pools, dining, and moped or bike rentals. Golfers also love the island’s two renowned courses, both just steps from the ocean.
EXPERIENCE: At Camp Fripp, kids ages 3 to 12 learn about loggerhead turtles, native flora, seashells and more.

Your History
20 HISTORY
Beaufort is a living landmark.
Birthed 450 years ago, when
French explorer Jean Ribaut
sailed into Port Royal sound, the
second-deepest natural harbor on the
East Coast. That’s the history that’s still
pulsing through the legends, through
times of prosperity, grandeur, turmoil—
and rebirth.
Spanish, French and British explorers
struggled to colonize the isolated sea-
side province dotted with American
Indian tribes. Spain first ventured into
area waters in 1514, but it was Ribaut
who claimed the Port Royal Harbor and
established the short-lived settlement
of Charlesfort, now known as Parris
Island. The Spaniards returned in 1566,
building Fort San Felipe and the Santa
Elena settlement on Parris Island. Their
dominion endured until 1587, when the
British drove them out of the region.
By 1711, when the English formally
chartered Beaufort, the area had
evolved into a shipbuilding hub, but
growth was tempered by the constant
threat of American Indian hostilities and
foreign invasion. As protection, the Brit-
ish constructed Fort Frederick in 1735.
In 1712, the Parish Church of St. Hele-
na was established at 505 Church St.
Thomas Heyward Jr. (1746-1809), a
signer of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, served as a parishioner during
the Revolutionary War Era. Presently, a

Must Do: History
23HISTORY
The Beaufort History Museum traces
its roots to 1939, when its constitution
was approved at a meeting of the original
board of trustees. The state of South
Carolina then chartered the museum
as a nonprofit organization, formed “to
increase and diffuse knowledge by
the maintenance of a general museum
and library of art, science, history and
industry; the preservation and protection
of objects and places of artistic, historic
or scientific interest; and by furnishing
instruction and recreation.”
The museum has been open to the
public for most of the time since and is
housed in The Arsenal, 713 Craven Street.
The Beaufort History Museum
Heyward descendant volunteers at the
Visitor Center. In the late 1700s, Beau-
fort and its bordering sea islands flour-
ished as a center for indigo, cotton and
rice. Wealthy plantation owners built
breathtaking mansions in downtown
Beaufort, many of which still stand in the
Historic District and “The Point,” the ar-
ea’s most historic residential enclave.
Beaufort was one of the first communities
captured by the Union when the Civil War
erupted in 1861. Union soldiers estab-
lished a headquarters in the federal-style
John Mark Verdier House. Verdier, a
successful merchant and plantation
owner, had built his mansion in 1804, with
wealth generated from trading indigo and
farming 1,000 acres of sea island cotton.
The house remained under Union control
until Verdier’s daughter-in-law, Caroline,
reacquired it at a tax sale at the war’s
conclusion. Today, docents give tours of
the restored property. Beaufort National
Cemetery was established two years
after the war began. One of six national
cemeteries built in 1863 for Union
soldiers and sailors, the 33-acre site
The first meeting drafting the Ordinance of Secession is held
at the Milton Maxey House(“Secession House”). On Dec. 20,South Carolina becomes the firststate to withdraw from the Union
Spanish explorers first discover the Port Royal area.
1562French Huguenots led by Jean Ribaut settle on present-day Parris Island, establishing
Charlesfort.
The Spanish return to Parris Island to build
Santa Elena settlement.
1711The Lords
Proprietors of Carolina charter Beaufort Town.
St. Helena’s is established as colonial parish of the Church
of England. The church at 505 Church St., built in 1724,
is among North America’s oldest active churches.

Santa ElenaThe Santa Elena Foundation is on a mission to tell the
story of Santa Elena, a 16th century Spanish settlement
that was located on present-day Parris Island. It’s an
exciting story of religion, geopolitics, cultural clashes,
war and struggles to survive. It’s a story that’s little
known, even in South Carolina. The Santa Elena
Foundation wants to change that. It is dedicated to the
research, preservation and promotion of Santa Elena, the
first European colonial capital in the New World.
The Santa Elena History Center is located in downtown Beaufort, in the historic
courthouse building located at 1501 Bay Street. Come learn about this “lost century” in
American history. Before Jamestown, before Plymouth Rock . . . there was Santa Elena.

Another military landmark, Fort Fremont
on St. Helena Island, was built to defend
the U.S. Naval Station-Beaufort (a major
dry dock and coaling station) during
Spanish-American War. The U.S. Army
Coast Artillery Corps manned it from
1899 through 1911, when the Navy Yard
moved to Charleston. Fort Fremont’s
170 acres had state-of-the-art facilities,
including telephones, auto-telegraph
(yesterday’s fax), electricity and ad-
vanced artillery. Little of Fort Fremont
remains, except two batteries and a
hospital building, but visitors are encour-
aged to walk the waterfront grounds.
Other vestiges of Beaufort’s beginnings
are fun to experience as well. In “The
Point,” the historic residential quarter in
downtown Beaufort, stately antebellum
mansions retain the city’s Southern charm
and grace. Visitors can tour The Point by
car, foot or horse-drawn carriage.

Beaufort moves at its own pace –
and you’re invited to do the same
while you’re here. It’s the kind
of place that begs to be explored and
enjoyed in the most out-of- the-
ordinary routes and workouts.
Beaufort’s intricate network of waterways
that feed through the surrounding islands
provide a fisherman’s and boater’s para-
dise. Every afternoon tour boats explore
the Beaufort River from the Downtown
Marina; dolphins frolic alongside the
boat as guides discuss the area’s marine
life, history and film heritage. Tours also
depart the Port Royal Landing Marina with
narration on the history of the islands and
tides of the river.
Public boat ramps and marinas dot the
islands, making it easy to get out on the
water on your own vessel. You just have
to worry about catching the big one,
which may be easier than you think. Blue-
fish, spotted sea trout, Spanish mackerel,
black sea bass, the southern flounder and
more populate the area waters. No boat?
Walk the boardwalk and climb the tower at Port Royal's Sands Beach.
Take a kayak tour of the area's rivers and estuaries.
Explore the Cypress Wetlands Trail in Port Royal.
Golf at one of the renowned courses.
Climb aboard a boat tour to see dolphins in the river and birds in the marshlands.
Go deep-sea fishing or catch the big one on the rivers with a charter company.
Head out to Hunting Island State Park to explore the beach, lighthouse, pier and forest trails.
Take part in outdoor running, biking and kayaking events.
Stroll the canopied streets through downtown Beaufort.
Rent a bike to ride through Beaufort, Port Royal and the Sea Islands.

No problem. Rent kayaks at area outfitters
join a charter fishing expedition or try your
luck inshore fishing with one of the local
outfitters.
Just up the road, the ACE Basin has
350,000 acres of tidal creeks, home to
dolphins, alligators, eagles, ospreys and
more. Edisto Water Sports glides a pon-
toon boat through this immense estuary
preserve, once the site of rice plantations
that brought affluence to the area prior to
the Civil War.
Hunting Island State Park boasts
5,000 acres of maritime forest, complete
with a campground, a pier, 5 miles of
beach, an 8-mile hiking trail and the only
lighthouse in South Carolina open for
climbing. The park attracts more than
1 million visitors annually, including those
that come each March for the Hunting
Island Adventure Biathlon. More leisurely
paddlers can explore the surrounding inlets
in search of nearly 200 bird species.
Port Royal’s Cypress Wetlands Park
dazzles, with boardwalks and pathways,
an observation deck and awesome views.
Visit at low tide to witness rarely seen
creatures, like white-shelled periwinkle
snails and mud hens.
Even in downtown Beaufort, nature
holds dominion. “The Green,” an undevel-
oped one-acre block in the heart of “The
Point” near the Beaufort River, remains
open park space.
Historic Cuthbert House Inn & Anchorage 1770 feature spacious verandas over-
looking boat-dotted Beaufort Bay. (Private)
Stroll Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park to see the beauty of the Beaufort River.
Dine at one of downtown’s restaurants, Panini’s Café, Luther’s, Plums Restaurant, Saltus River Grill and Q on Bay.
Grab an ice cream from Southern Sweets Ice Cream, Common Ground’s gelato, Yoyo’s Frozen Yogurt, or Kilwins and enjoy it on the swings that dot Waterfront Park.
The eastern end of Bay Street provides a great view of the swing bridge connecting downtown Beaufort and Lady’s Island.
In historic Port Royal, go to the docks around dusk and watch the sun sink
behind the shrimp boats.
For an unparalleled view, ascend the spiral staircase of Hunting Island Lighthouse. At 132 feet, you’ll see a spectacular expanse of marshes, islands, creeks and ocean.

Take a bite of Lowcountry cuisine
and you’ll get a full taste of the
region’s traditions, history and way
of life.
South Carolina’s coastal fare is
steeped in a combination of English,
French, African and West Indian cuisine.
And fresh, local produce (corn and squash)
and seafood (crab, shrimp, oysters and
fish) provide delicious bases for this South-
ern comfort food.
Like the region itself, many Lowcountry
dishes date back hundreds of years.
Consider, for example, the ancient cuisine
of the Gullah, whose African ancestors
were brought to the area as slaves.
Through the centuries, Gullahs have
proudly preserved a culture that includes
a distinctive cooking style that’s heavy
on grilling, roasting and stewing. And, of
course, seafood is key.
For authentic Gullah fare, grab a
table at Gullah Grub on St. Helena Island,
featured on Travel Channel’s “Anthony
Bourdain: No Reservations.” Chef/owner
(and genuine Gullah) Bill Green offers
mouth-watering, seasonal selections,
including crab soup, shark strips, fish
chowder and shrimp gumbo.
Housed in a former city building in
downtown Beaufort, Lowcountry Produce
occupies Beaufort’s former City Hall. The
specialty food retailer produces Southern
staples, such as relishes, preserves, gum-
bos and more, using all-natural ingredients.
Along with their jarred gems, the shop

carries fresh baked breads, wines and
prepared foods.
If you have a yen for fresh produce,
check out Beaufort’s bounty of local
farmers markets and produce stands
like The Port Royal Farmer’s Market
in Naval Heritage Park, which sells
heirloom tomatoes, blueberries, eggplant,
organic eggs, homemade soups, and live
entertainment, open Saturday mornings
year-round.
If you’re on the road, pull over at
the roadside stand of Barefoot Farms or
Dempsey Farms on St. Helena Island for
fresh fruits and vegetables. They supply
several local restaurants with produce
(Breakwater Restaurant & Bar, Plums
Restaurant, Saltus River Grill, and The Old
Bull Tavern to name a few).
The Foolish Frog on St. Helena Island,
Bricks on Boundary in uptown Beaufort
and Salumi e Formaggi at Habersham
Marketplace also take advantage of local
meats and produce.
After your fresh-food fix, it’s time for
dessert. It grows at The Chocolate Tree on
Carteret Street, where Stockies Rockies
(pecans and raspberry marshmallows
smothered in milk chocolate) are a must.
If you have a taste for pastries, Herban
Market & Café, on Bay Street at Bladen,
is the icing on the cake. Throw a blanket
along the riverbank and enjoy your divine
dessert as the sun sets.

The Vintage OysterHere in the Lowcountry oysters are part
of our collective DNA, the literal “something in the water” that helps define us as a culture. The first chill of fall signals a season of backyard oyster roasts - a tradition that dates back untold millennia. In fact, the Sea Islands took root on ancient oyster rakes. Archaeological research indicates pre-tribal peoples harvested oysters thousands of years before Europeans set foot on the continent.
Oystering was a booming industry here for more than a century until over-harvesting took its toll. Now, thanks to sustainable fisheries like Frank Roberts’ Lady’s Island Oysters, Beaufort raised oysters are among the most sought after on the planet. Like wine, it’s all about the terroir – the geology, terrain and micro-environments in the growing zone. Our ocean-fed rivers, creeks and marshes coupled with our massive tides make this one of the best places on Earth to grow oysters. Or as Frank would put it, Beaufort is to oystering what the Napa valley is to wine making.

On St. Helena Island, traditions and history heavily influence the merchandise mix. The Red Piano Too Art Gallery offers
one of the most extensive collections of folk art in the Southeast. To experience the important history and culture of the Sea Islands, visit Penn Center, where you can purchase recordings of “De Nyew
Testament,” the Gullah
language Bible translation that was 21 years in the making. The Gullah Grub restaurant offers delicious traditional Lowcountry cooking that is a mix of African and American
cultures. Agriculture
remains an important
aspect of St. Helena, making it an ideal place to load up on farm treats at roadside stands, such as Barefoot Farms and Dempsey Farms.

The heartbeat of Beaufort’s vibrant,
creative community is the Beaufort
Arts Council. The council nurtures
and promotes local, creative minds and
provides opportunities for artists to
exhibit, perform and create art. It also
offers educational and training
opportunities to students of all ages.
Beaufort is consistently recognized as
one of the top small arts towns in the United
States. Hundreds of local artists represent-
ing every discipline, and a diverse array of
venues including several galleries, along
with festivals and special events, showcase
the area’s talents.
Rich in African traditions, the Gullah
culture influences artists of all types. Interna-
tionally acclaimed painter Jonathan Green
crafts brightly colored canvases that reflect
his upbringing in this area.
Throughout the region, basket weavers cre-
ate intricately patterned and coiled sweet-
grass baskets, a fading handicraft that can
be traced back hundreds of years through
slavery to Africa.
The Pat Conroy Literary Center was
established in 2016, after the death of the
great American writer for whom Beaufort
was not just home, but muse. Conroy
found inspiration here for some of his
most beloved works, including The Great
Santini and The Prince of Tides, both of
which were also made into successful
movies filmed in the area.
Today, the Conroy Center works to
cultivate a passionate and inclusive
reading and writing
community in honor
of Beaufort’s
favorite son, who
dedicated his life
to spreading his
love of literature
and writing
to future
generations. Every
fall, the center hosts the Pat Conroy
Literary Festival, featuring writers and
scholars from all over the South.

A glance at the calendar of events
(page 103) reveals more of the town’s
cultural highlights. From May to
September, the Town of Port Royal’s Street
Music on Paris Avenue showcases some
of the best local acts and has featured the
likes of Bill Kirchen, John McCutcheon and
Robin Rogers. In late May, the city shines
the spotlight on the Gullah
Festival, a celebration of the Gullah culture,
which presents a variety of
traditional food, arts and crafts.
Larger productions, often musical,
take the stage at the University of South
Carolina Center for the Arts. Here, you’ll
see performances by the Beaufort Theater
Company, the Beaufort Children’s
Theater, and a series of visiting artists.
World class chamber musicians appear five
times a year for the USCB Chamber Music
Series, and the Beaufort Symphony
Orchestra performs several concerts a
year at Sea Island Presbyterian Church.
Must-Do: Arts Shop the Four Corners community on
St. Helena Island, a perfect place for local arts and crafts.
Visit the USCB Gallery to see rotating exhibits by both visiting and local artists.
Visit the many downtown galleries any time of year, but especially during the twice annual ArtWalks, when galleries offer a little something extra.

round at USCB’s Center for the Arts, from children's plays to community theater to world-class chamber music.

Beaufort has starred in many movies
over the years. During the 1980s
and ’90s, especially,
filmmakers flocked to this area for its splen-
dor and variety. Below are just a few
local sites from some of your favorite movies.
Also, the Beaufort International Film
Festival, started in 2006, brings in thou-
sands of film buffs from around the country
and filmmakers from around the world
every February for screenings, seminars,
and other events.
FILM: The Great Santini, 1978 —
Beaufort made its big-screen debut in the
adaptation of this novel by local author
Pat Conroy.
SITES: Ben finds his father under a tree
on “The Green,” a park between King and
Laurens streets in downtown Beaufort. Ben
and Toomer drive down the breathtaking
Avenue of Oaks on St. Helena Island.
FILM: The Big Chill, 1983 — This block-
buster film really put Beaufort on the map
as a popular tourist destination.
SITES: The famed “Big Chill house” (the
same used in The Great Santini) is the
historic “Tidalholm,” a private residence
located in “The Point,” between Laurens
and Hancock streets.
FILM: The Prince of Tides, 1991 — Anoth-
er Pat Conroy adaptation, starring Barbra
Streisand and Nick Nolte.
SITES: The Beaufort Arsenal (now home of
the Beaufort Visitors Center) stands in as
George Carlin’s swanky Greenwich Village
apartment, and the Beaufort Naval Hospital
plays New York’s Bellevue Hospital. Nick
Nolte and Blythe Danner’s beach house
is on Fripp Island, and the bridge Nolte
crosses in the final scene is the J.E. McTeer
Bridge linking Port Royal and Lady’s Island.
FILM: Forrest Gump, 1994 — This beloved
film uses Beaufort as its backdrop in most
scenes.
SITES: Fripp Island, where Ocean Creek
Golf Course now lies, served as the back-
drop for all Vietnam scenes. The tree where
Forrest and Jenny play as kids stands at
the end of Carolina Ave. (Take U.S. 21 past
the Air Station, then a right onto Bruce K.
Smalls Dr., then a slight left on State Rd. S.
7-623/Carolina Ave.) Run in Forrest’s foot-
steps along the Woods Memorial Bridge,
connecting downtown Beaufort and Lady’s
Island, and on the Chowan Creek Bridge
between Lady’s Island and St. Helena
Island.
Other movies filmed in Beaufort include
Chasers, Forces of Nature, G.I. Jane, The
Jungle Book, Last Dance, The Legend of
Bagger Vance, Radio, Rules of Engagement
and Something to Talk About.

Your MilitaryService
55MIL ITARY SERVICE
Marine recruits come to Beaufort
to be trained, tested and
transformed into the world’s
fiercest fighting force. Visitors can
experience the area’s military ties on less
rigorous terms.
One of the world’s most-visited
military facilities, Parris Island is home to the
legendary Marine Corps Recruit Depot and
the Parris Island Museum. Every year, nearly
20,000 United States Marine Corps recruits
(all the nation’s female recruits and all male
recruits east of the Mississippi River) de-
scend on Parris Island to prepare for service.
There are 35 recruit graduation ceremonies
a year, always on Friday, and they are open
to the public. To experience the time-hon-
ored tradition, just bring your driver’s license,
vehicle registration and proof of auto insurance
for entrance to the base.
At the Parris Island Museum, the
Marine Corps’ first Command Museum,
more than 10,000 square feet of exhibits
honor the history and tradition of the
Marine Corps. The museum also highlights
the region’s history, from its American Indi-
an roots to its discovery by Europeans 450
years ago to the founding of the Depot.
The Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort
boasts Marine F/A-18 squadrons that
create the “sound of freedom” sometimes
heard overhead. The Fightertown family
consists of nearly 5,000 active duty and
civilian employees (more than 8,500 ac-
tive-duty armed forces members live and
work in the Beaufort area). At any given
time, squadrons of this established air
station are deployed around the globe.
A Legacy of ServiceThe Beaufort area is honored to host three military institutions.
56 MIL ITARY SERVICE
The military family here has recently
expanded. MCAS Beaufort is now home to
one training squadron of the F-35C Joint
Strike Fighter, the U.S. military’s cutting
edge, state-of-the-art aircraft.
Just 10 miles down the road, on the
site of the former Fort Frederick (built in
1735), the Beaufort Naval Hospital occu-
pies 127 acres. One of only a few
military facilities recognized as a
complete military compound, the
hospital features 53 family housing units,
two Bachelor Enlisted Quarters, a Navy Ex-
change retail store, a Public Works facility,
recreational facilities and more.
On Naval Hospital grounds lie the
historic tabby (seashell and mortar) ruins of
Fort Frederick, built in 1735 as protection
against the Spanish, French and Indians.
At Naval Heritage Park, just outside the
gate, a historic marker designates the site
of Camp Saxton and details Emancipation
Day, which celebrated the enactment of
the Emancipation Proclamation on New
Year’s Day 1863. Little of the fort remains,
but visitors can tour the grounds by
appointment.
In Uptown Beaufort, pay your respects
at Beaufort National Cemetery, established
in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln.
Dedicated to those who have served
this country, the cemetery contains
the remains of several notable military
service members. Among those are 199
Confederate soldiers, as requested by
President Lincoln, making it one of a
handful of national cemeteries containing
Confederate soldiers.

Your Vows
60 WEDDINGS
Happily ever after begins with your
betrothed here, where sunlight
dances atop the river banks, and a
cool ocean breeze dances with the
Spanish moss hanging from
giant oaks. Pink foxgloves blanket
walkways and the clip-clop of horse
hooves echoes down tucked-away streets.
Serene scenes like this
aren’t found just anywhere.
But in Beaufort, they’re
endless. It’s a picture-perfect
destination designed for
weddings.
Searching for the ideal
location? Say, “I do” on the
pristine, 5-mile beach at
Hunting Island State Park,
with a historic lighthouse as
your backdrop. If you prefer
a more floral background,
host your wedding in the lush
gardens at The
Beaufort Inn or The Rhett
House Inn. Want a truly his-
toric venue? The
Beaufort Arsenal was built in
1798. Recently
remodeled, it features a
lovely, large indoor space
with arched windows and an
outdoor courtyard.
For a more traditional ceremony,
several historic churches dot the area
(check with the church for specific
requirements). The Baptist Church of Beau-
fort’s iconic steeple and Greek
Revival architecture date back to the
1800s. Another jewel is the recently
remodeled Anchorage 1770 on Bay Street.
This historic home began as the William
Elliott House who lived there from the
early 1800’s until the Civil War. Elliott was
a highly successful politician, planter,
and sportsman. In 1891 the house was
purchased by Rear Admiral Lester
Beardslee, commander of the Port Royal
Naval Station.
After the vows, keep the reception ca-
sual in beachside tents, or move the party
to a spacious golf course. Several sites,
such as the Beaufort Arsenal,
as well as historic and new hotels, feature
beautiful reception spaces, some with
outdoor patios that catch refreshing ocean
61WEDDINGS
breezes. A number of B&Bs, inns and
hotels accommodate large groups.
Beaufort is equipped with a variety of
accommodations with diverse
atmospheres and food services that
offer delicious Lowcountry fare. You’ll
find everything you need – local wedding
planners, caterers, lodging and
restaurants – for your Big Day in Beaufort.

Your Place to Call Home
63REAL ESTATE
Sometimes you visit a place that feels
like more than a vacation spot. In
fact, it starts to feel like home.
Beaufort is one of those places.
Brimming with small-town charm and
oh-so-Southern hospitality, Beaufort is a
desirable address for all ages. The soul
of the community comes through in small
touches: church steeples piercing dense
foliage, oak-canopied avenues,
wooden steps leading to rocking chair-lined
verandas and a sun-dappled waterfront park
ideal for picnics and community events. Erase
all notions about small-town
cliquishness. Perhaps because of its
formidable military presence (including
two long-established Marine Corps bases),
Beaufort extends a hearty welcome to out-
of-towners laced with the genteel tenor of
the South.
Beaufort appeals to newcomers young
and old. Second Act recently named it one
of the “Top 10 Retirement Towns,” while
CNNMoney.com and Money magazine cite
the community as one of the nation’s “Top
25 Best Places to Retire.” At the same time,
Beaufort
County’s youth programs and health
initiatives earned it a spot on the America’s
Promise Alliance’s “100 Best
Communities for Young People.”
“I love the South, and Beaufort
exemplifies the lovely, gracious way of life
in this part of the country,” says one local
resident who moved from Maryland to Beau-
fort in 2004. “The Southern politeness and
manners are what brought me here.”
An interior designer, she purchased
the second-oldest home in Beaufort, a
64 REAL ESTATE
beautiful two-story estate with a large
garden in “The Point.” This historic
neighborhood—with gurgling fountains
and Confederate jasmine spilling over
wrought-iron gates —sits just blocks from
the downtown district. “I’m within walking
distance of everything,” she says. She
routinely rides her bike to the post office,
stopping to chat with neighbors along the
way. “The only time I drive my car is when I
go to the grocery store.”
Beaufort’s strong sense of community
and involved public were big draws for
her. An active supporter of the town’s
lively arts scene, she opens her home for
tours to help raise funds for the Historic
Beaufort Foundation. “We all know each
other in my neighborhood,” she says. And
even though there’s a steady influx of
newcomers to Beaufort, she is apprecia-
tive that “so many residents have lived
here since birth.”
While Beaufort’s small-town charm
attracts many, others are compelled by its
accessibility. History, water, outdoor
activities, arts and culture are easily
available, and the area’s attractions all lie
within 30 miles. Beaufort also makes a great
home base for day trips. Hilton Head Island,
Charleston and Savannah are just a short drive
away— so you can make it back in time to
watch the sun set over the Beaufort River.
First-rate college opportunities also
make Beaufort an appealing place to put
down roots. The University of South Caroli-
na Beaufort offers a broad
curriculum of academic programs,
ranging from biology to studio art. At
the two-year Technical College of the
Lowcountry, students fine-tune career skills
in fields such as nursing and
multimedia design. Continuing-education
classes at both schools attract the area’s
growing retirement population.
66 REAL ESTATE
Dataw Island presents gated living at its finest. If golf, tennis, a full-service marina and gracious-but-casual houses are what sound like home to you, then visit this private residential island.
Fripp Island, a designated wildlife sanctuary, offers 3,000 acres of natural beauty on the most seaward of South Carolina’s barrier islands. Its nearly 1,000 residents appreciate its private feel, more than 3.5 miles of shell-dotted beach, two golf courses and full-service resort amenities, such as restaurants, tennis facilities and a marina.
Habersham has been awarded the “Best Neighborhood Design in America” by the National Association of Home Builders, thanks to its innovative town plan that is as sensitive to the environment as it is to the residents. The Habersham Marketplace combines retail, restaurants and office space for a unique community space that also hosts festivals and a weekly farmer’s market.
Harbor Island is tucked between St. Helena Island and Hunting Island, and its natural beauty creates a setting and vacation retreat experience worth re-peating. Harbor Island features a variety of vacation rental homes and condo-miniums to accommodate couples, families or large groups. Three outdoor pools, tennis courts, a putting green, and three miles of pure, untamed, sandy white beach create a private vacation playground unlike any other.
Islands of Beaufort’s park-like setting comes with towering pines, live oaks and a variety of blooming plants that ensure year-round color. Many homes in this country club-like atmosphere overlook broad tidal marshes.
Newpoint, on Lady’s Island across the river from Beaufort’s historic dis-trict, features traditional Lowcountry architecture. Both retirees and families with young children find the friendly community inclusive and appealing.
Must-See: Residential CommunitiesBeaufort’s appeal goes beyond its downtown district to other residen-
tial communities and islands in Beaufort County. When looking, check
out what might make these other destinations perfect for your next move.
Beaufort’s real estate market
accommodates all budgets and lifestyles.
You can buy an affordable bungalow on a
leafy side street, a contemporary condo
in a beach community or an antebellum
mansion in “The Point.” Several new
residential developments integrate the
classic architectural style found in the
antebellum era.
Housing options extend to part-time
residences as well, for people who may
not be ready for a permanent move, but
want to live in Beaufort seasonally.
Indeed, MotorBoating magazine has
identified Beaufort as one of the “top towns
for season-long stays in Southern states.”
“The diversity of housing options in
this town is exceptional,” notes Realtor
Edward Dukes, a fourth-generation
Beaufortonian. “Whether you’re a boater,
a golfer or someone who enjoys a daily
stroll to the town, whether it’s a small
second home you’re looking for or a beach
house, a primary residence or a historic
showpiece, Beaufort truly has something
for everyone.”

Your Official SourceThe Beaufort Visitor Center, located
in the historic Arsenal in the heart of
the Downtown District, is staffed with
friendly and professional information
specialists who can customize your
Lowcountry experience to your prefer-
ences. Maps, brochures, tour reser-
vations and special sites to visit are all
available at the Visitor Center.
From driving down a treelined
canopy road to kayaking the
Intracoastal Waterway, there are special
moments that will bring you back to
Beaufort again and again. History
comes alive in Beaufort, and it starts
at the Arsenal, originally built in 1798,
and one of the nation’s oldest arsenals.
It was rebuilt in 1852, and the designer
is believed to have been John Gibbes
Barnwell. The Arsenal was designed
in the Gothic Revival style (the original
tabby wall was removed and replaced
by a stuccoed brick wall).
Our friendly information specialists
can help you reserve a tour, discover
the best restaurants, locate the many
galleries and shops, and even direct
you to the perfect getaway spot to relax
and unwind. Beaufort, Port Royal and
the Sea Islands are great places to
create everlasting moments.
For more information about visiting
or relocating to Beaufort, please visit us
at www.beaufortsc.org or call us at
843.525.8500.
The Visitor Center is located at:
713 Craven Street, Beaufort, SC 29902
