Along with its stunning coastal landscapes and majestic historic architecture, Historic Beaufort South Carolina, offers an amazing blend of arts, history, recreation and luxury living. Beaufort has to be considered on this Southern Passages leg of the Heritage Corridor as a favored "get away from it all" destination, with its rows of antebellum mansions, restful waterfront setting, and a well deserved reputation of Southern hospitality. Overlooking one of the most pristine natural habitats along the Atlantic Ocean, the surrounding lowcountry area is a picturesque archipelago of lush sea islands and tidal estuaries. Within the adjacent view shed of this coastal paradise, nature's finest is much in evidence. White-tailed deer and raccoons scamper around under Live Oaks draped with Spanish moss while the rivers, creeks, and bays teem with splashing dolphins and diving osprey.
The Historic District of Beaufort is ideal as a place simply to linger - enjoying live acoustic music and local artisans at the Arts in the Park series, or taking in the freshest seafood dinner at any of the chic eateries along Bay Street. Stroll through historically correct neighborhoods built in classic architectural styles. Take in the tantalizing boutique City Loft Hotel, with luxury amenities in well appointed guest rooms in the midst of the historic district.This upscale Beaufort accommodation is a well positioned overnight stop on a leisurely planned road trip between Charleston and Savannah.
While many consider summer the prime time to visit Beaufort’s Historic District, fall is an equally popular time to visit when the Beaufort International Film Festival, featuring more than 100 productions from dozens of countries, as well as a look at the city's wondrous historic buildings and blooms in the Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens. Beaufort is only 30 minutes away from the famed golfing paradise and deep-sea fishing of Hilton Head Island and within an hour’s drive of Top Ten North American Destination, Sultry Savannah just one county away.
