Or, as many local do, you can enjoy crabbing just off the dock!

Going back 500 years ago, with the discovery of the area by the Spanish, Beaufort was the site of the 2nd landing on the north american continent by Europeans, the first being one year earlier with Ponce Da Leon in St. Augustine, FL.
8) Friendly people! Yes, the southern charm is no joke, it a real thing and it's evident the minute you arrive. People are friendly and gracious here. Don't be surprised if you're strolling in your neighborhood and a neighbor rocking on his/her front porch invites you in for wine:30 or tea time!
