things to do in and around Beaufort

Answered by Richard L Matteson Jr , Louisville-Jefferson County, United States

There are shops on main st (Bay St.) down by the waterfront. You'll find lowcountry artwork by local artists there. The John Cross Tavern is a great place to eat.

There are shrimp boats moored on Lady's Island marina. From there you should visit Frogmore SC which is on the way to Fripp Island.

Hilton Head SC is only 45 minutes away and Savannah GA is about an hour.

There are some great historic homes in Beaufort and there is a tour of these homes different times of the year. Several movies including "The Great Santini" and the "Big Chill" were shot in Beaufort and you can visit the locations.
