Beaufort makes “Small Towns We Love” list
BEAUFORT, S.C. — Southern Living magazine has named Beaufort to its list of ‘Small Towns We Love’ in its July issue.
The magazine’s description of Beaufort:
“The curving, tidal Beaufort River wraps around the 303-year-old downtown and offers up terrific scenery in most directions. And then there’s the leafy historic district itself, filled with 18th-, 19th-, and 20th-century architecture, from tiny cottages and fish shacks to indigo-planters’ mansions and wide piazzas.
It’s a Lowcountry town where characters abound. And the river’s pristine waters surrender such high-quality seafood that it seems folks are always gathering for a shrimp or crab boil or an oyster roast.”
