Things to do in Beaufort
Beaufort, founded in 1711, is one of South Carolina’s oldest towns, and its historic district of antebellum homes facing the Beaufort River has served as a backdrop for films including The Big Chill, The Prince of Tides and Forrest Gump. The local economy is closely tied to the military, with Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Naval Hospital Beaufort nearby, as well as tourism, retirement and real estate.
