Beaufort, South Carolina is a gorgeous place to own real estate. There are lots of private and gated communities offering an allusive and very secure feel. A lot of the communities are oceanfront and historic. Beaufort is still a small town with historic mansions, gorgeous shimmering bay, large oak trees and lots of waterways.

Beaufort offers a healthy lifestyle with lots of outdoor pursuits including biking, boating, fishing, hiking and kayaking. One can pursue the sport of fishing year-round here. Usually the fisherman's dilemma is not when to fish but what to fish because of the vast array of options. There are trout, flounder, sheephead and red-fish to name a few. Hiking is a wonderful option at the Hunting Island State Park. There are water sports available there as well as other activities such as crabbing, shelling, swimming and picnicking.
