The Beauty of Beaufort, SC

One of South Carolina's southern most cities, Beaufort, the seat of Beaufort County, is set just inland of Port Royal Sound, and is only an hour and half west of Charleston. Guests of the Best Western hotel in Beaufort enjoy casual walks and picnics along Hunting Island State Park. Be sure to arrive early - it attracts more than one million visitors a year. For some beach front fun, be sure to explore the Sands at Port Royal - a local secret. Beaufort, founded in 1711 by the British, has a deep and enduring history. Be sure to experience just a taste of this with a visit to the John Mark Verdier House Museum, and a visit to Parris Island Museum - a mind expanding experience.
