What People are Saying about Beaufort South Carolina

August 12, 2010 - Wonderful Memories, Beaufort will always mean the 'true south' to me

I first visited Beaufort in 2005 when my daughter moved to Lady's Island. I fell in love with the Lowcountry. Sea grass, salt marsh, shrimp boats at sunset. We have returned many times, renting houses on Fripp Island. I have wonderful memories of walking the beaches on Fripp and Hunting Island, collecting shells and sand dollars by the bucket full, watching dolphins jump around our boat as we rode up the Beaufort River toward the ACE Basin, sunset dinners at the Dockside and sitting on the swing on Bay Street watching the boats come in.

We have since purchased property further north in Murrells Inlet - but each day I wear my Beaufort destination bracelet that my husband purchased for me at the Bay Street Jewelers. Beaufort will always mean the "true South" to me.

March 25, 2010 - My wife and I had a wonderful time visiting your city.

I wanted to write you to say that my wife and I had a wonderful time visiting your city. We spent the day there during our honeymoon in Savannah. This visit was during last year's Shrimp Festival. I hope you all have great pride in your city as it is a true American gem.

February 4, 2010 - Among the best food we ate while visiting the Lowcountry.

My husband and I, from Virginia, and friends from Texas visited Beaufort in November on vacation. Please pass the word to Panini's that the food was excellent and among the best we ate while visiting Hilton Head, Beaufort, and Savannah. We also thoroughly enjoyed the tours we received at the John Mark Verdier House and the Episcopal church. As I am a tour guide in Virginia, I also appreciated the Old Spirit of Beaufort walking tour. Keep up the good work.  The communication your organization provides visitors before they arrive is also to be highly commended.

November 17, 2009 - My Husband and I enjoyed our visit so much that now we are planning to move there.

I went to Beaufort for the first time in July for the Water Festival. My husband and I enjoyed our visit so much that now we are planning to move there. It is absolutely amazing how nice the people are and how beautiful the area is. I can't wait for my kids to grow up in the Lowcountry.  My favorite things just from the two times we have been  there are the Waterfront Park in Beaufort and Hunting Island.  I love to take a bagel and coffee and sit at the tables in the park and eat breakfast.  I just can't wait to do it as a local!!

May 22, 2009 - Beaufort was by far my most favorite place.

We just returned two weeks ago from a 6-state vacation and it was my first time to visit South Carolina.  Beaufort was by far my most favorite place.  The swings overlooking the water were awesome.  Everything was clean - everyone was friendly and helpful.  The homes were spectacular.  The buggy ride was an awesome way to view the town and very reasonably priced.  I would recommend Beaufort to all my friends and I would definitely visit again.  The visitors center was very easy to find and so clean and the people gave us a map and were so helpful.  You should be so proud of your town!

December 21, 2008 - Beaufort Gazette Letter to the Editor:

My wife, Ann, and I had the opportunity to spend a week in your fine city in late October. Wow, how we were impressed. As native Virginians, on a number of occasions we have visited our Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg, as well as that town in North Carolina that bears your name, but we had no idea what we were missing until we found your Beaufort. During the six days we were there, we constantly were impressed with the courteousness of virtually everyone with whom we came in contact. A truly amazing thing to me was that we never witnessed anyone speeding, running red lights or driving recklessly. You have some fine restaurants, which we enjoyed to the fullest, where we were greeted and treated in true Southern style. Your shops are attractive and well appointed. They succeded in having us leave our fair share there. It was great to be able to enjoy so much of your historical significance as we walked for miles and miles past those beautiful homes -- so well maintained, though some were more than 200 years old. We look forward to returning another time.
