Beaufort did it again. This time we’re the most charming. Popular lifestyle & travel website Travel Awaits named Beaufort the most charming small town in all of South Carolina on its 2021 list of “12 Charming Charming Small Towns in South Carolina.”
We couldn’t agree more.
“I think of excellent food, shag music and dancing, low-country culture, remarkable historic sites, and fabulous trees when South Carolina comes to mind,” said the article’s author about South Carolina. “But, it is also an exceptional state to visit small towns with fewer than 25,000 people. A visit can do wonders for your soul and curiosity and provide much-needed support and dollars to communities that really need them.”
Ain’t that the truth, y’all?
When it came to Beaufort, she tells it like it is. “Enjoy the beautiful water views and water activities in this charming South Carolina gem, ‘Queen of the South Carolina Islands.’ Beaufort still has a hint of a British vibe to it, and the antebellum architecture has been used in movie sets, including Forrest Gump and The Prince of Tides.”
“Learn about African-American culture at the Penn Center and add another lighthouse to your “been there, seen that” category at Hunting Island State Park Lighthouse.”
She even threw in a fun fact: “Visit a unique museum during your time in Beaufort: The Kazoo Museum and Factory Tour.”
The accolades have been pouring in for Beaufort recently.
In the past year or so, Beaufort has been named the Best Small Town in South Carolina, called One of the Cutest Towns in the U.S., the Most Quaint Town in South Carolina.
We’ve been named One of the Most Beautiful Towns in America, and one of the Best Towns to Visit in the Fall.
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.
Also, we’re both the Healthiest County in South Carolina and the Most Patriotic City , too.
