Beaufort SC Walking History Tour
CLICK THIS LINK for more information about Janet’s Walking History Tour of beautiful historic Beaufort SC. Located approximately halfway between Savannah and Charleston, you’ll find the picturesque town of Beaufort SC.
Known as the Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands, Beaufort’s visitors are quickly struck by both her beauty and her history.
Beaufort is the second oldest town in South Carolina having been chartered by the British over 300 years ago.
Beaufort’s rich heritage is a big part of its unique charm. It’s been acknowledged by many publications over the years, including a recent listing in Southern Living magazine’s “Small Towns We Love”. It’s easy see why.
Visitors are quickly impressed by the relaxing atmosphere of downtown Waterfront Park. The park is lined with numerous shops and restaurants on one side, and a breathtaking view of the Beaufort River on the other.
There’s no better place to take a short break than by sitting on one of the park benches and enjoying the view of the river while also observing the many splendid boats docked at the adjacent Downtown Marina.
And if all this sounds like a fun, the Beaufort experience becomes even more grand when one walks a short distance and surveys homes so impressive one historian was led to describe Beaufort as the “Newport of the South”.
Many of the homes are even larger than ones found in Charleston and Savannah.
You can soak in the beauty of Beaufort, but you wont be able to fully appreciate what makes Beaufort the jewel she is without hearing about the captivating history of this fabulous destination.
And is best done by joining Janet for her Walking History Tour.
Here’s Janet in action.

Additional information:
When I took Janet’s Walking History tour, I was just in town for the day. It was a mid spring glorious day and the leisurely walk around town was just what the doctor ordered. It was the perfect way to “get away from it all” and mentally step back in time and relive all those three hundred years of history. There were so many interesting and fascinating events that I have decided to join Janet again for another tour in the future.
As i walked around town I thought to myself, what grand and glorious real estate here in Beaufort SC. I am not sure how it compares in price to a similar Hilton Head real estate, or for that matter, some of the real estate in Charleston SC. But I do know that some of the Beaufort SC real estate, the larger homes, are even bigger than those of Charleston and Savannah.
Beaufort tours are not nearly as extensive as those you find in Charleston SC. Charleston SC tourism is a big industry in Charleston, there are so many things to do in Charleston. Beaufort though much smaller, still has many things to do and Charleston even with all the things to do, can’t touch Beaufort for the small town charm.
The hotels in Beaufort are likewise less grand than the Charleston SC hotels, and of course less expensive. So if you are spending week in Beaufort, you can find very good lodging for a portion of the price for similar Charleston hotels. And you also gain a laid back lifestyle, a slower paced town than the larger more touristy Charleston. And it would be hard to become bored with all there is to do in Beaufort County.

Town History
Established in 1709, Beaufort, N.C., is a quaint coastal town located on Beaufort Inlet, a channel leading south to the Atlantic Ocean. The third oldest town in the state and seat of Carteret County, Beaufort has a residential population of about 4,000 with a high influx of visitor traffic during the warmer months.
Beaufort was first known as Fishtown because the fishing industry was and has been an important part of the county’s history. Beaufort was later named for Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort.
Originally a fishing village and port of safety dating from the late 1600s, Beaufort has been visited by patriots, privateers, merchants, and skilled craftsmen who built Bahamian and West Indian-style homes and public buildings. Approximately 150 of the restored historic homes bear plaques noting names of the Town’s earliest known owners and dates of original construction.
The early economy of Beaufort was on the use of natural resources in the area. Hence, fishing, whaling, the production of lumber and naval stores, shipbuilding, and farming were the chief economic activities. Though Beaufort had the safest and most navigable harbor of any of the ports of North Carolina, extensive commercial activities failed to develop, owing to the fact that the town was almost completely isolated from the interior. Now, Beaufort’s economy depends heavily on tourism.
The Plan of Beaufort Towne, laid out in 1713, survives in a 12-block area, which today is on the National Register of Historic Places.
