www.beaufortsc.org

Welcome to the best hometown in the world: Historic waterfront Beaufort, the second oldest city in South Carolina, situated conveniently between Charleston and Savannah along the Intracoastal Waterway.

Beaufort has deep roots in American history and is said, by one of our celebrated historians, to be a place where much of our great nations history began.

We pride ourselves on providing visitors a rich experience consumed by history and culture, dining, annual events and cultural festivals, the arts and outdoor recreation.

Exploration of Beaufort by European settlers dates back to the early 16th century, when Spain first landed near Port Royal Sound. After nearly two centuries of attempts, land disputes and threats from competing European settlers, Englishmen founded the city of Beaufort in 1711.

During the Revolutionary War, Beaufort was occupied by British troops and during the Civil War, Union soldiers occupied Beaufort while the Period of Reconstruction, unique to Beaufort, known by historians as The Port Royal Experiment, was launched toward the beginning of the war and long before it was over.

The Lowcountry celebrates a long and positive relationship with the military through Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, a Marine Corp military base first built in 1861 and used from 1915 to present day, US Naval Hospital Beaufort and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

Beaufort is also known for its ongoing revival and celebration of the Gullah culture, as is reflected in much of the artwork, cooking and culture. And

this is to say nothing about our broader and growing arts community, which has earned us the reputation as one of the best small cities for the arts.

Visitors will also find a burgeoning dining scene within downtown Beaufort and its surrounding areas. Whether it’s fresh seafood and Southern-style cooking that you crave, or Gullah cuisine that blends flavors from Africa and the West Indies, we have a wide selection of local restaurants to choose from. Legend has it, Frogmore stew was first created in the surrounding area of Frogmore, on St Helena Island.

One of the Lowcountry’s pearls is Hunting Island State Park, the most frequented park in the state, featuring miles of untouched beaches and a historic lighthouse that guests can still climb for a bird’s eye view of the ocean and the untouched surrounding nature, with its network of trails for walking, bicycling and adventure.

We hope you enjoy your time in the Lowcountry and that you find your stay such an enriching experience that you return and refer us to family and friends as an enchanting place to live and visit.

Again, welcome to Beaufort. Those of us who live here love it and we hope you will, too!

Sincerely,Billy KeyserlingMayor, City of Beaufort

BEAUFORT, PORT ROYAL & THE SEA ISLANDS OFFICIAL VISITOR GUIDE6

WELCOME TO BEAUFORT, Port Royal and the Sea Islands — the heart and soul of the Lowcountry. C’mon in. Get comfortable. Stay a while.

The Lowcountry possesses a character all its own, a unique personality that informs every detail of this destination. Moss-draped oaks dance graceful waltzes with sea breezes. Antebellum mansions stand proudly

like the wealthy cotton barons who once called them home. Gullah descendants carry on ancestral culture, weaving artwork from sweetgrass and cooking some of the tastiest cuisine you’ll ever enjoy. Each evening brings a spectacular sunset, as the lacework of waterways, islands and sky sparkles in the many shades of the seasons.

There is an energy here, an invigorating spirit that enriches mind and soul. History buffs and romantics savor the splendor of downtown Beaufort, a National Historic Landmark District. Boaters and kayakers ply rivers and creeks winding through the Sea Islands. Bird-watchers spy more than 175 species along Port Royal’s wetland bird sanctuary. Beach-goers revel on Hunting Island’s 5 miles of pristine sandy shore. It’s all just minutes from downtown. You’ll want to spend several days soaking in all the sights. Or maybe even a lifetime.

Plentiful Southern hospitality and our laid-back atmosphere allow you to experience the area more as a native than a visitor. Whether you’re sipping sweet tea in a high-back rocker on the veranda of an historic inn or chatting with a cafe owner over morning coffee, you’re sure to find a friendly “hello” wherever you go.

It’s been a tradition here for more than 450 years, when Beaufort, Port Royal and The Sea Islands were first discovered by French explorer Jean Ribaut, who landed at what is now Parris Island.

Others have taken note of our area’s appeal. Southern Living readers named Beaufort “Best Small Southern Town.” Garden & Gun magazine called us a “Southern Dream Town.” And the New York Times named Beaufort as one of “52 Places to Go” (in the world!) in 2016.

C’mon in and see for yourself. We welcome you.

Enrich: Your History

The Arsenal, c. 1798Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center

HISTORY14

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 pros-perity, grandeur, turmoil … and rebirth.

Spanish, French and British explorers struggled to colonize the isolated seaside 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 set-tlement of Charlesfort, now known as Par-ris Island. The Spaniards returned in 1566, building Fort San Felipe and the Santa Ele-na settlement on Parris Island. Their do-minion 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 British con-structed Fort Frederick in 1735.

In 1712, the Parish Church of St. Helena was established at 505 Church St. Thomas Heyward Jr. (1746-1809), a sign-er of the Declaration of Independence, served as a parishioner during the Revo-lutionary War Era. Presently, a Heyward descendant volunteers at the Visitor Cen-ter. In the late 1700s, Beaufort and its bor-dering sea islands flourished as a center for indigo, cotton and rice. Wealthy plan-tation owners built breathtaking man-sions in downtown Beaufort, many of which still stand in the Historic District

15HISTORY

and “The Point,” the area’s most his-toric residential enclave.

Beaufort was one of the first communi-ties captured by the Union when the Civil War erupt-ed in 1861. Union soldiers established a headquarters in the feder-al-style John Mark Verdier House. Verdier, a successful merchant and plantation owner, had built his man-sion in 1804, with wealth generated from trading indigo and farming 1,000 acres of sea island cotton.

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.

History TimelineBritish soldiers interred at the Parish Church of St. Helena following the Battle of Gray’s Hill

HISTORY16

The house remained under Union con-trol until Verdier’s daughter-in-law, Car-oline, reacquired it at a tax sale at the war’s conclusion. Today, docents give tours of the restored property.

Beaufort National Cemetery was es-tablished two years after the war began. One of six national cemeteries built in 1863 for Union soldiers and sailors, the 33-acre site presents an unusual layout for its time: Five avenues form the spokes of a half circle, all of which sit inside a rectangular boundary. More than 14,000 soldiers have been laid to rest here, including 199 Con-

federate soldiers. It is one of a handful of nation-al cemeteries that buried Confederate soldiers.

Following the Civil War, Beaufort pros-pered from phosphate mining before a devas-tating hurricane in 13 and a fire in 1907 brought economic stagnation.

The town’s recovery in the latter half of the 20th century was fueled by downtown revitalization and development, as well as a large military investment: The U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Beaufort Naval Hospital.

17HISTORY

Another military landmark, Fort Fremont on St. Helena Island, was built to defend the U.S. Naval Station-Beaufort (a major dry dock and coal-ing 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-tele-graph (yesterday’s fax), electricity and advanced

artillery. Little of Fort Fremont remains, except two batteries and a hospital building, but visitors are en-couraged 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, state-ly antebellum mansions retain the city’s Southern charm and grace. Visitors can tour The Point by car, foot or horse-drawn carriage.

Beaufort National Cemetery

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. This year, the Santa Elena History Center opened 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.

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 paradise. Every after-noon, Captain Dick’s River Tours explores the Beaufort River from the Downtown Marina; dol-phins frolic alongside the boat as guides discuss the area’s marine life, history and film heritage. Captain Wally’s Historic and Nature Cruise departs from the Port Royal Landing Marina and narrates the history of the islands and tides of the river.

Public boat ramps and marinas dot the is-lands, 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. Bluefish, spotted sea trout, Spanish mackerel, black sea bass, the southern flounder and more populate the area waters. No boat? No problem. Rent kayaks at area outfitters such as Higher Ground, join a charter fishing expedition with Seawolf Charters, or try your luck inshore fishing with Bay Street Outfitters.

Beaufort’s Best Views Beaufort and its adjacent islands comprise one gi-gantic picture postcard. Here are a few notable places that offer some of the area’s most spectacular views:

Historic Cuthbert House Inn and Anchorage 1770 feature spacious verandas overlooking gleaming, boat-dotted Beaufort Bay. 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, savor Common Ground’s gelato, or Yoyo’s frozen yogurt and enjoy it on the swings that dot Waterfront Park. The eastern end of Bay Street provides a dramatic view of the swing bridge connecting downtown Beaufort and Lady’s Island. In the historic hamlet of 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.

PLAYTIME24

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 pontoon boat through this immense es-tuary preserve, once the site of rice plan-tations that brought affluence to the area prior to the Civil War.

Hunting Island State Park boasts 5,000 acres of maritime forest, com-plete 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, includ-ing 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 path-ways, an observation deck and awesome views. Visit at low tide to witness rarely seen creatures, like white-shelled peri-winkle snails and mud hens.

Even in downtown Beaufort, nature holds dominion. “The Green,” an un-developed one-acre block in the heart of “The Point” near the Beaufort River, remains open park space.

The Port Royal Sound Foundation’s new Maritime Center on Lemon Island features birding walks, eco-boat expedi-tions, and more.

The Beaufort County Open Land Trust purchases unspoiled real estate to protect our precious waterfront views, and now preserves more than 23,000 acres.

Fishing in BeaufortTwenty-five percent of the United

States’ east coast marshland water is right here in Beaufort County, making it a fisherman’s paradise. Located halfway between Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA, and only a stone’s throw from Hilton Head Island, Beaufort offers water sight fishing at its finest. The flats of the Lowcountry teem with fly casting and light tackle opportunities. Sight casting . . . tailing reds . . . chasing giant cobia . . . you

name it, you can do it. Cast into a school of jacks, trout, ladyfish, or Spanish mackerel. The fish are here! With hundreds of square miles of tide water and grassy marshes to explore, the possibilities are endless.

29CUISINE

T ake 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, Afri-can and West Indian cuisine. And fresh, local pro-duce (corn and squash) and seafood (crab, shrimp, oysters and fish) provide delicious bases for this Southern 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 genu-

ine Gullah) Bill Green offers mouth-water-ing, seasonal selections, including crab soup, shark strips, fish chowder and shrimp gumbo.

Housed in a former city building in downtown Beaufort, Lowcountry Produce occupies Beau-fort’s former City Hall. The specialty food retailer produces Southern staples, such as relishes, pre-serves, gumbos and more, using all-natural ingredi-ents. 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 Saturdays mornings year-round. The Downtown Beaufort Farmers Market takes place every Wednesday May through October downtown by the Santa Elena History Center on Bladen Street.

The Vintage Oyster

Here 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.

Southern ComfortWith a Twist

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 Maggie’s Pub & Eatery at Haber-sham 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 Rock-ies (pecans and raspberry marshmallows smothered in milk chocolate) are a must. If you have a taste for pastries, Crave Cupcake Boutique in Uptown Beau-fort is the icing on the cake. Throw a blanket along the riverbank and enjoy your divine dessert as the sun sets.

An Inviting DowntownBeaufort DestinationFor the Whole Family

Historic downtown Beaufort

Ready-made for strolling, Beaufort’s histor-ic downtown provides a contemporary shopping experience in an atmosphere of yesteryear. Bay Street, which parallels the riverfront, beats as the heart of the downtown district, where dozens of locally owned boutiques occupy renovated 19th century storefronts. From there, side streets, arcades and alley-ways promise a treasure chest of unique shopping opportunities.

One-of-a-kind gifts and accessories at Lulu Burgess ranges from the whimsical to the nos-talgic. Joli Home Accents can help you set off your favorite room with a wide array of home décor. Scout Southern Market, also on

Bay Street, is another home décor haven, stocked to dress your dwelling from floor to ceiling.

In Beaufort, shopping is an enchanting treasure hunt. The memories of the journey are as meaningful as the keepsakes themselves. Here, the takeaway is more than just a souvenir. You also take home a piece of culture, a taste of the good life – maybe even a prized relic from the past. With quaint bou-

tiques, bookshops, brand-new stores and more, you can shop all day while taking in the designer views.

Scout Southern Market

37SHOPPING

Works by local and regional artists fill galleries like The Atelier on Bay, which showcases 14 artists from the Southeast. The Beaufort Art Association features a different artist every six weeks.

When it comes to apparel and accessories, there’s something for everyone. The Beaufort Clothing Company specializes in chic women’s fashion. Those with a more outdoorsy bent should

stroll into Bay Street Outfitters, home to outdoor clothing and gear, fishing guides with deep knowledge of local waters and everything else you could need for local fishing and boating.

McIntosh Book Shoppe packs plenty of titles into its cozy space, including signed books by local legend Pat Conroy; NeverMore Books specializes in new and used books, along with vintage vinyl.

st. Helena islandOn St. Helena Island, traditions and history heavily influence the merchandise mix. The Red Pi-ano 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 tra-ditional Lowcountry cooking that is a mix of African and American cultures. Agriculture remains an important as-pect of St. Helena, making it an ideal place to load up on farm treats at road-side stands, such as Barefoot Farms and Dempsey Farms.Produce from Barefoot & Dempsey Farms

43ART

B eaufort is picture-perfect, and so are the visionaries who capture its natural beauty and culture on canvas. Seeing is believing.

The heartbeat of Beaufort’s vibrant, creative community is the Beaufort Arts Council. Sup-ported by 600 members, 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.

It’s why Beaufort consistently earns rec-ognition as one of America’s top small arts towns. Hundreds of local artists representing 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 cul-ture influences artists of all types. Jonathan Green crafts brightly colored lithographs and paintings that reflect his upbringirt. His creations are often featured at ARTWorks. Throughout the area, basket weavers create intricately patterned and coiled sweetgrass bas-kets, a fading handicraft that can be traced back hundreds of years through slavery to Africa.

Anita Singleton-Prather – better known as Aunt Pearlie Sue – shares Gullah history and language through her colorful, costumed story-telling and through the musical group, Gullah Kinfolk. For more Gullah lore and crafts, check out the Penn Center Heritage Days Celebra-tion, held each November at Penn Center.

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 cul-tivate a passionate and inclusive read-ing 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 October, the center hosts the Pat Con-roy Literary Festival, featuring writ-ers and scholars from all over the South.

Visit the many downtown galleries any time of year, but especially during the twice annual ArtWalks, when galleries offer a little something extra.

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

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 Par-is 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 cele-bration 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 Cen-ter for the Arts. Here, you’ll see performanc-es 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 Festival Series, and the Beaufort Symphony Orches-tra performs several concerts a year at Sea Is-land Presbyterian Church.

47FILM

Beaufort has starred in many movies over the years. During the 1980s and ’90s, especially, filmmakers flocked to this area for its splendor and va-riety. Here are just a few local sites from some of your favorite movies.

FILM: The Great Santini, 1978 — Beaufort made its big-screen debut in the adap-tation of this novel by local author Pat Conroy.SITES: Ben finds his father under a tree on “The Green,” a park between King and Lau-rens 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 — Another 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 Vil-lage apartment, and the Beaufort Naval Hospital plays New York’s Bellevue Hospi-

tal. 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 La-dy’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 footsteps along the Woods Memorial Bridge, connecting downtown Beaufort and Lady’s Island, and on the Chowan Creek Bridge between Lady’s Is-land 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.

49MILITARY 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 na-tion’s female recruits and all male recruits east of the Mississippi River) descend on Parris Island to prepare for service. There are 35 recruit grad-uation ceremonies a year, always on Friday, and they are open to the public. To experience the time-honored tradition, just bring your driver’s license, vehicle registration and proof of auto in-surance 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 his-tory and tradition of the Marine Corps. The museum also highlights the region’s history, from its American Indian roots to its discov-ery by Europeans 450 years ago to the found-ing of the Depot.

The Marine Corps Air Station Beau-fort 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 civil-ian employees (more than 8,500 active-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.

The military family here has recently ex-panded. MCAS Beaufort is now home to two training squadrons and three operational squad-rons of the F-35B 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) and Camp Saxton (a Civil War garrison), the Beau-fort Naval Hospital occupies 127 acres. One of only a few military facilities recognized as a com-plete military compound, the hospital features

53 family housing units, two Bachelor En-listed Quarters, a Navy Exchange retail store, a Public Works facility, recreational facilities and more. The Naval Hospital also has two Branch Medical Clinics at the Ma-rine Corps Recruit Depot and the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

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.

WEDDINGS54

Happily ever after begins with your be-trothed here, where sunlight dances atop the river banks, and a cool ocean breeze dances with the Spanish moss

hanging from giant oaks. Pink foxgloves blan-ket 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 back-ground, host your wedding in the lush gardens at The Beaufort Inn or The Rhett House Inn. Want a truly historic venue? The Beaufort Ar-senal 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 Bap-tist Church of Beaufort’s iconic steeple and

Greek Revival architecture date back to the 1800s. Another jewel is the recently remod-eled 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 suc-cessful politician, planter, and sportsman. In

1891 the house was purchased by Rear Ad-miral Lester Beardslee, commander of the Port Royal Naval Station.

After the vows, keep the reception casual 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, fea-ture beautiful reception spaces, some with out-door patios that catch refreshing ocean breezes. A number of B&Bs, inns and hotels accommo-date large groups.

Beaufort is equipped with a variety of accommodations with diverse atmospheres and food services that offer delicious Low-country fare. You’ll find everything you need – local wedding planners, caterers, lodging and restaurants – for your Big Day in Beaufort.

S ometimes 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-South-ern hospitality, Beaufort is a desirable address for all ages. The soul of the community comes through in small touch-es: church steeples piercing dense foliage, oak-canopied avenues, wooden steps lead-ing to rocking chair-lined ve-randas and a sun-dappled wa-terfront 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 bas-es), 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 of 2011,” while CNNMon-ey.com and Money mag-azine cite the communi-ty 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 exem-plifies the lovely, gracious way of life in this part of the country,” says one local resident who moved from Maryland to Beaufort in 2004. “The Southern politeness and manners are what brought me here.”

An interior designer, she purchased the second-oldest home in Beaufort, a 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 Foun-dation. “We all know each other in my neigh-borhood,” she says. And even though there’s a steady influx of newcomers to Beaufort, she is appreciative 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 activi-ties, 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 Car-olina Beaufort offers a broad curriculum of

REAL ESTATE60

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 multime-dia design. Continuing-education classes at both schools attract the area’s growing re-tirement population.

Beaufort’s real estate market accommodates all budgets and lifestyles. You can buy an afford-able bungalow on a leafy side street, a contem-porary condo in a beach community or an an-tebellum mansion in “The Point.” Several new residential developments integrate the classic architectural style found in the antebellum era.

Housing options extend to part-time res-idences as well, for people who may not be ready for a permanent move, but want to live in Beaufort seasonally. Indeed, MotorBoat-ing 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 some-one 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.”

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 nat-ural 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 cours-es 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.

Islands of Beaufort’s park-like set-ting comes with towering pines, live oaks and a variety of blooming plants that ensure year-round color. Many homes in this country club-like atmo-sphere 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.

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 Low-country experience to your preferences. Maps, brochures, tour reservations and special sites to visit are all available at the Visitor Center.

From driving down a tree-lined 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 re-lax 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 800.638.3525 or 843.525.8500.

The Visitor Center is located at 713 Craven Street, Beaufort, SC 29902.
