Beaufort
A quick 40 minute drive up the coast lies the iconic southern town of Beaufort. Southern Living called this well known waterfront gem one the “The Best Small Towns In The South” and you will often find it on lists of the “Best Places to Retire”. Famed author and Beaufort resident, Pat Conroy, has helped catapult Beaufort into the public eye with his celebrated novels, several of which were made into motion pictures, including The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini. Artist, John Villani includes Beaufort in his book “Best 100 Art Towns In America.” With preserved, charming Southern architecture, Beaufort is a picturesque town full of both rich history and a thriving present.
