Egg hunts and Easter bunny sightings across Beaufort
Spring is arriving in the Lowcountry and as Easter nears everybody wants to know where to find the Easter Bunny for photos and who’s hosting a good old fashioned Easter egg hunt for the kids.

In downtown Beaufort, the Easter bunny will be visiting The Chocolate Tree on March 17th & 18th and again on the 24th & 25. Saturday hourse are 11am to 5pm and Sunday hours are from 1 to 4pm. It’s a win-win when you can get photos with the Easter bunny AND some of those homemade chocolate treats.
