BEAUFORT
Just minutes from the beaches of Hilton Head and Hunting Island and smack in the middle of hundreds of holes of world-class championship golf, Beaufort, SC is a smaller town that really seems to have it all.
Beaufort SC History
Incorporated over 300 years ago in 1711, the second-oldest city in South Carolina is a history lover's paradise that has a story dating back over 500 years.
It all started with the discovery of the area by Spanish explorers in 1514. With this discovery, Beaufort County was the site of the second landing on the North American continent by Europeans.
In the mid-1500s, Spain and France competed for control of the new found land. The Spanish government believed it had exclusive rights to the continent. To protect its Atlantic shipping route, Spain colonized several points along the Southeastern coast, including the Carolinas.
Spain's King Phillip ordered the establishment of military bases on the mainland. St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest continuously occupied European city in the continental United States. But the first colonial capital was Santa Elena, right here in Beaufort SC.
Spanish colonists founded Santa Elena in 1566 on Parris Island in Port Royal Sound in present-day Beaufort, just a short 10-minute drive from downtown today.
Beaufort had been subject to numerous European explorations and failed attempts at colonization before the British officially founded the city of Beaufort in 1711.
The city initially grew slowly. It was a center for shipbuilding and later when SC became established, Beaufort was the elite center for the Lowcountry planters through the Civil War.
Just after the Civil War started, Beaufort fell early and was occupied by Union forces following the Battle of Port Royal in 1861. Due in part to its early occupation, the city was saved from destruction and the burning of General Sherman, and with many of the town's landowners fleeing the area, slaves were left behind. The Union forces declared the slaves emancipated and started its efforts at education while also creating regiments of African-American soldiers to fight against the South.
Beaufort SC has recently been recognized and has seen the establishment of the National Reconstruction Era Park by the National Park Service due to the area being the home of the beginning of the reconstruction of America after the Civil War, including the home of the first school for freed slaves at Penn Center on St. Helena Island.
In fast-forwarding to the 20th Century, the Beaufort area has grown quite a bit.
Mining for phosphates, farming and fishing were the primary industries early in the century, and the area became well known as a supplier of local seafood and tomatoes. Tomatoes grown on our sea islands of Beaufort SC have been shipped all over the U.S., and today an estimated 25 million pounds of them come from St. Helena Island every year to stores across the country.
Beaufort SC Economy
In 1915, Parris Island was created as a Marine Corps Recruit Depot, and training has continued there ever since. The Beaufort SC area is home to 3 military installations today, including the Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, and the Beaufort Veteran's Administration Naval Hospital.
The military is the most significant economic driver in Beaufort SC, providing a whopping $2.2 billion to the area every year. Beaufort's military bases use thousands of local workers. As a result, a down economy is not as big as a factor in the Beaufort SC community as it would be in others.

The subject of Pat Conroy's novel, The Water Is Wide, Daufuskie Island has a timeless quality and is still accessible only by boat.”

The First Union African Baptist Church and the Daufuskie Island Rum Company are to be visited as well.
Community History
The present pottery shards from the hunter-gatherer period show that early humans inhabited this island for quite a long time. Before European colonists moved in, Indian tribes occupied this area, particularly the Muskogean tribe, which gave the island its name (Daufuskie means “sharp feather” in the Muskogee language, because this is basically what the island looks like).
Over the years, the island went through quite a lot of people, cultures and even the Civil War, before settling into a booming oyster industry sometime in the 1880s. In the 1980s, developers decided to convert Daufuskie into a tourist destination, and that’s when the resorts and other attractions sprung up.
Tourist Events
From New Moon parties and Delta Lady jam to oyster roasting sessions and musical festivals, Daufuskie has quite a lot to offer regarding events. Aside from external musical groups and bands, the island itself has a wealth of musical talent strongly linked to its Bohemian heritage, which is worth experiencing.

Hilton Head boasts a variety of recreational spots, exuberant and exotic wildlife, famous heritage buildings and luscious vegetation.
With such a variety of features at its disposal, it comes as no surprise that the area is a desirable tourist attraction. However, it takes good insight and knowledge of a region to take full advantage of its tourist attractions, and we intend to do exactly that as we take you through an informative article about the Island.
The History
The extravagant tourist island has a surprisingly rich and interesting history, dating back to the eighteenth century. The waters of the region have been controlled by no less than four different countries from Europe, and the island had tremendous significance in the Civil War, becoming an important base of operations to protect the southern ports.
Its history as a tourist resort began in 1956 with the Sea Pines Resort. The Heritage Golf Classic was first played in 1969 at the Sea Pines Resort and has been regularly a stop on the PGA Tour ever since. In May 1983, the Hilton Head Island had officially become a town.
The Sights
The Hilton Head Island hosts one of the most beautiful and extravagant tourist spots in the area. The beaches are pristine, the golf courses are stunning, and there’s lots of history and culture to be learned from the Coastal Discovery Museum. One sight, in particular, that stands tall is the Harbour Town Light House, a beacon that radiates not only light but knowledge, as it is a museum as well. The Coligny Beach Park has a beach, along with walking and biking paths along the Oceanside.
The Culture
While a very picturesque and attractive area, what lies underneath the beautiful display of the Hilton Head Island is the vibrant and colorful culture that is the backbone of the region. Golf enthusiasts will fall in love with the sheer beauty of the courses, as well as the popularity of the sport itself. There are over two hundred exquisite restaurants that include fine sea and continental food to satisfy your taste buds. The island is ripe with festivities, and this year there are many events including the annual Hilton Head Island Wine and Food Festival.
The local wildlife from bottlenose dolphins to snowy egrets creates an allure to the town that is unmatched by others in South Carolina. Atop the natural wonders are also the organizational and artistic wonders. The coastal discovery museum, arts center of Coastal Carolina, Hilton Head Choral Society, Hilton Head Symphony, arts council, youth theater, and heritage library are all amazing locations to visit when you arrive at Hilton Head.
Hilton Head Island is a place of mass jubilation, from the Gullah celebration to WingFest, and HarbourFest. Hilton Head Island is rated one of the best places to live in America because of the sheer amount of stuff you can do there!
LADY’S ISLAND
Lady’s Island one of the larger residential communities in northern Beaufort County, South Carolina. The Island was named in 1698 by Royal Governor Joseph Blake. He called it Lady’s Island in regard to his wife, Elizabeth Blake.
The island was predominantly rural and agricultural in character for the majority of its history. In the 1920s, the first bridge connected downtown Beaufort with Lady's Island was built. As development of Beaufort and the surrounding areas began in the last half of the 20th century, the island began to develop former plantation and timber tracts into residential subdivisions. A second bridge connected Lady's Island with Port Royal in the 1980s.
The 2010 U.S. Census put 12,570 people on the island but with all the growth over the past 8 or 9 years, it's easily swelled to 15,000+.
With a true feel of the suburbs, the island is home to four public schools: two elementary, one middle, and one high school; Beaufort Academy, a K-12 private school, and Saint Peter's Catholic School, a private Catholic school.

Other sought-after neighborhoods on the island are Newpoint, Royal Pines and Pleasant Point.
