Beaufort

Beaufort has served as a port town in South Carolina’s Lowcountry since the early 18th century. Set on Port Royal Island beside the Beaufort River, it is shaped by tidal marshes, waterways and the broad estuary of Port Royal Sound. The city’s National Historic Landmark District preserves streets lined with oak-shaded homes, including many built before the Civil War. Beaufort was occupied by Union forces early in the war, and the surrounding Sea Islands remain an important centre of Gullah Geechee heritage.
