"Tucked into winding, historic streets framed by natural foliage and centuries-old, moss-draped live oak trees, Beaufort is more than a hidden Lowcounty gem - it's a transformative destination that has charmed visitors since 1512. Beaufort is located on Port Royal Island, one of the largest Sea Islands along the southeast Atlantic coast of the United States." The Greater Beaufort-Port Royal Convention & Visitor's Bureau
