About Beaufort South Carolina
WELCOME TO THE LOWCOUNTRY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
Surrounded by pristine water, miles of undisturbed marsh and woodlands abounding with wildlife, the South Carolina Lowcountry has long drawn the adventurous to its shores.
Beaufort is the second oldest city in South Carolina. The old port town of Beaufort is the gracious center of the picturesque Lowcountry. Historic homes dating from as early as 1717, and the grandiose mansions built in the pre-Civil War era have been carefully restored. Beaufort's downtown neighborhood is a National Historic district.
Several homes have been registered and designated as National Historic Landmarks. In the years between 1790 and 1860, when Sea Island cotton produced families of great wealth and influence, many of Beaufort's finest homes were built.
