Did you know that Southern Living Magazine named Craven Street in downtown Beaufort one of the most beautiful streets in all of the south on a recent list?
Craven Street came in at #5 on the list and the company it’s keeping is quite impressive, too.
Southern Living said, “In the 1800s plantation owners chose Craven Street as the prime location to build their summer homes due to the fact that the intercoastal breeze flows through even on the hottest summer day. Here, you’ll scope out some gorgeous porches and, at the end, the classic “This View Brought to you by Beaufort, SC” sign, as well as the historic, three-story mansion known as The Castle.”
“The South has so many hidden treasures and undiscovered gems. Locations that families, and couples plan trips around visiting with great restaurants, amazing shopping, beautiful beaches, and some of the best bars and breweries. We also have gorgeous spots that are off the map.”
Craven Street is the home of the Beaufort Arsenal as well as The Castle. Lined with live oaks and Spanish moss, it’s definitely a street that you would picture as quintessential southern.
On the list along with Craven Street are Front Street in Natchitoches, Louisiana, Bull Street in Savannah and Church Street in Charleston, SC.
