Beaufort County, South Carolina

Beaufort Location Map South Carolina

The coastal region of South Carolina is home to Beaufort County, a place where land and water form a maze of islands, marshes, and inlets.

Hilton Head Island is Lowcountry resort town and barrier island. But the county seat of Beaufort oozes Southern charm with its antebellum homes. Historians geek out over the area’s role in the Civil War.

Fishing is big business here. So is shrimping. The local Gullah culture adds a unique flavor to the mix. It’s hot in the summer, but the ocean breezes help. Beaufort County’s a slice of Lowcountry paradise.
