Beaufort, South Carolina is one of the last unspoiled areas on the Eastern seaboard. Beaufort's rivers and sounds are bountiful with fish and crabs and shrimp. Fresh waters from inland rivers meet the ocean in Beaufort to form an estuarine network of tidal creeks and marshes so rich in nourishment that wildlife, birds and fish of incredible variety come here to feed and breed. The air is clean, the winters moderate, the water warm, the beaches long and almost empty.

Historically and architecturally, Beaufort SC is a national treasure and has been designated as a National Historic Landmark District. While many Southern antebellum towns were destroyed by Sherman’s torches or by hurricanes or both, Beaufort, with some of the grandest houses of the Old South, survived.

The military is an integral part of Beaufort, with the Marine Corps Air Station to the north, Parris Island Recruit Depot on Port Royal Sound, and the Naval Hospital at the heart of the community. The Marines take an active roll in community life. They assist in emergencies, entertain at air shows and volunteer at community events.

Beaufort is also known as an arts town, creating, supporting and enjoying an expansive repertoire of music, theater, dance and art events. Artists move to Beaufort because of the cultural climate. In fact, Beaufort has been named one of the best small towns for the arts in the country.
