Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park [1]: Walk the dog or while away the time on a porch swing at this clean and inviting gathering place on the serene Beaufort River.
St. Helena’s Episcopal Church [2]: To walk through this Beaufort sanctuary and its walled graveyard is to walk through Lowcountry history.
Penn Center [3]: Not only the center of modern Gullah culture and education, this is a key site in civil rights history as well.
Hunting Island State Park [4]: This is one of the most peaceful natural getaways on the East Coast, but it’s only minutes away from the more civilized temptations of Beaufort.
ACE Basin [5]: It can take a lifetime to learn your way around this massive, marshy estuary — or just a few hours soaking in its lush beauty.
Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge [6]: This excellently maintained sanctuary is a major birding location and a great little getaway from nearby Hilton Head.
Old Bluffton [7]: Gossipy and gorgeous by turns, this charming village on the May River centers on a thriving artist colony.
