Beaufort, SC was just named the Most Charming Town in South Carolina, and it’s not the first time. In a February article, Reader’s Digest named the Most Charming Towns in All 50 States and Beaufort got the nod for the Palmetto State.
Yes, Beaufort is getting more accolades, and we couldn’t be happier.
In its article, Reader’s Digest made sure to point out that, “If you’ve been to Charleston, South Carolina, envision Beaufort as a mini-version of that historic American city.”
“Set along the Atlantic Ocean, Beaufort has plenty of moss-draped oaks, Civil War–era homes and that genteel Southern setting of the South Carolina Lowcountry. It is the state’s second-oldest city, founded in 1711.”
The publication made sure to mention downtown’s Waterfront Park was one thing not to miss. “Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. Overlooking the bay, the peaceful park is surrounded by galleries, restaurants and shops.”
Sounds about right to us.
They even mentioned the Rhett House Inn, calling it “a celebrity favorite, and making sure to tell readers that it “offers complimentary champagne on the veranda when you arrive.”
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.
In being named most charming, Beaufort was in some good company on the list with several other beautiful towns accompanying it. Telluride, CO, Natchez, MS, Sanibel, FL were all on the list, but none compare to Beaufort, SC.
This isn’t really that much of a surprise. We, with much bias, know that Beaufort is a charming 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.
