Experience Beaufort
History. Architecture. Nature. Beaches. The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and more are part of the alure of the historic Beaufort area. Beaufort County is home of the historic towns of Port Royal and Bluffton and the resort town of Hilton Head. The Beaufort County island of Daufuskie, home to a sizable population of Gullah inhabitants, inspired the Jimmy Buffett song, The Prince of Tides, and was the setting of author Pat Conroy's book, The Water is Wide.
Plan to stay more than a day in historic Beaufort, where you are alway welcome at the Inn at TownCenter.

Hilton Head, SC
You'll notice that there's something different about Hilton Head the moment you arrive. By design, there is a sensitive nod to the environment that has become the blueprint for other developments around the nation. Buildings are set back from the main roads, showcasing the native pines and oaks. Colors are not flamboyant and bright; instead, they are subdued and blend with the natural environment. And bright streetlights here are as rare as snowstorms. There is a relaxed and warm island attitude in the air, one that whispers "Welcome to Hilton Head Island."
