Review:
Bursting at the seams with charm and history, Beaufort, SC is a much underrated South Carolina gem. The city is one of the oldest in the state, boasting 300 years of maritime history. The downtown waterfront is a great place to start your visit; here you can breathe in the fresh sea air as you watch numerous vessels entering and leaving the harbor, while you browse the interesting shops and boutiques. You can learn about Beaufort's history by visiting the Arsenal Museum and the National Cemetery or opt to soak up the unique maritime atmosphere as you stroll along Battery Creek on the Port Royal Boardwalk. You could also rent a bicycle and take on the scenic 10-mile Spanish Moss Trail.
