Here’s what The Discoverer’s Blog had to say about Beaufort:

“This pretty city sits on a bend of the Beaufort River in the heart of South Carolina’s Port Royal Island. If you want antebellum charm then you’ll find bags of it here. The streets of the historic downtown district are lined with grandiose examples of 19th-century neoclassical mansions. Movie buffs will delight in visiting sites from Forest Gump. And just a 25-minute drive are the beaches, lagoons and marshland of Hunting Island.”

Earlier this year, Beaufort also made the list for Travel + Leisure’s “11  of the Best Small Towns in America,” and Buzzfeed’s “18 Surprisingly Cool Small Towns in the USA.”
