Beaufort
Think a petite Charleston, with less traffic. And its unique appeal is not lost on the experts.
Southern Living has a love affair with Beaufort, rating it the #1 small town in the South, and its Craven Street as one of the South's most picturesque streets. For its part, Conde Nast Traveler ranked Beaufort as one of the 27 Most Beautiful Towns in America.
Hollywood has fallen for Beaufort too. It started in the 1970s with Pat Conroy's The Great Santini, followed by the Big Chill, Forrest Gump, and others.
Beaufort offers something for everyone, from shopping and fine restaurants to outdoor activities to arts & culture, all in a relaxed atmosphere.
