About "The Lowcountry" Beaufort South Carolina

WELCOME TO BEAUFORT "THE LOWCOUNTRY" OF SOUTH CAROLINA

Surrounded by pristine water, miles of undisturbed marsh and woodlands abounding with wildlife, the South Carolina Lowcountry has long drawn many to its shores and inland communities.

Beaufort, (considered by many as a "mini-Charleston") is the second oldest city in South Carolina and is the center of beautiful Lowcountry historic homes and mansions dating from as early as 1717. Beaufort's downtown neighborhood is on the National Historic Register and several homes have been designated as National Historic Landmarks.

People are drawn to Beaufort South Carolina to see our historic Downtown shopping district accented by a beautiful waterfront park and many unique and independent shops, art galleries and restaurants. "The Point" historic homes draw interest for their historic architecture as well as being film sites for movies such as, "The Big Chill", "The Prince of Tides", and "Forrest Gump". Quite often visitors fall in love with this special place. Occasionally, Pat Conroy, (a local resident) can be seen conducting book signings at local book stores.

The military is also an important part of this South Carolina community with the Parris Island training facility and Marine Corp Air Station which is home to many F-18 squadrons.

In Beaufort, (as with Bluffton and Hilton Head) golf, fishing, and other water sports are key elements to the year round recreation. Even though this is the area of the "Sea Islands" it is abundant with wild life such as Deer, Osprey, Owls, and even American Bald Eagles not to mention Alligators, Sea Turtles, Dolphin and other sea life.
