Beaufort named one of Top 16 Friendliest Towns in U.S.

2013

“One of America’s most charming Southern towns, Beaufort can often be found on lists of the friendliest towns, exemplifying Southern hospitality.” That’s what TripsToDiscover.com said about Beaufort SC when they put it on the list of Top 16 Friendliest Towns in America this week.

Yes, Beaufort SC is getting more accolades, and we couldn’t be happier.

In its article, the travel & tourism website made sure to note: “Just 90 miles from Charleston, this three-centuries-old town is a place where you can see residents hanging out on the front porch drinking sweet tea and enjoying get-togethers with neighbors for crab boils.”

“The state’s second-oldest town, it also boasts a wealth of historic sites and magnificent antebellum architecture, a picturesque waterfront, and mouth-watering local cuisine.”

In being named on the list of friendliest, Beaufort was in some good company with 15 other beautiful towns accompanying it, including Key West FL, Savannah GA, Asheville NC, Charleston SC, Jackson Hole WY, Sedona AZ and Bar Harbor in Maine.

This isn’t really that much of a surprise. We know that Beaufort is a very friendly place where you will always find that special Southern hospitality.

The accolades really have been pouring in for Beaufort recently, and we couldn’t be more proud.

Just a few months back, Southern Living named Beaufort the #1 Best Small Town in the South.

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.
