“Beaufort is known not just for its beautiful coastal scenery, but also for its well preserved early-to-mid 19th and late 18th century buildings.” That’s what Touropia.com said about Beaufort SC when they named it the most charming town in all of South Carolina.
Yes, Beaufort SC is getting more accolades, and we couldn’t be happier.
In its article, Touropia.com made sure to note that, “a full 304 acres of Beaufort has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. Included in this area is Beaufort’s downtown, which features the ever-charming Old Point area, its heritage houses boasting upper and lower balconies drenched with greenery.”
There’s just something so special about our part of the Lowcountry that it keeps being raved about all over the internet and in nationally published magazines.
Beaufort is a playground, “for anybody with an eye for architecture and a heart ready for history.”
Sounds about right to us.
In being named most charming, Beaufort was in some good company on the list with several other beautiful towns accompanying it in the top 12. Anderson, Edisto Beach, Georgetown and neighboring Hilton Head Island were all on the list, but none compare to Beaufort SC.
They didn’t short its readers on Beaufort’s history either. “The Penn Center – a former school for freed slaves – now charts the history and culture of African-Americans,” it said.

This isn’t really that much of a surprise. We, with much bias, know that Beaufort is the best town. The accolades have been pouring in for Beaufort recently.
We’ve also recently been named one of the 25 Best Small Towns in America by Architectural Digest; the Most Charming Small Town in South Carolina; one of the Cutest Towns in the U.S. and the Most Quaint Town in South Carolina.
In addition to those, Southern Living magazine named the Old Sheldon Church ruins one of the South’s Most Beautiful Chapels; named Hunting Island State Park one of the Best State Parks in the South; and named downtown Beaufort’s Craven Street one of the South’s Most Beautiful Streets.
