Beaufort, SC

We were pleasantly surprised with how much we liked Beaufort, SC. En route I couldn’t help but sing:

“Momma, don’t whup little Buford,
Momma, don’t bang on his head,
Momma, don’t whup little Buford
You ought to just shoot him instead”

The ICW in this area is a series of rivers and cut throughs with miles of marsh all around us. Occasionally we would see a long dock leading to huge beautiful waterfront homes.

 

 

 

 

 

We spent the first night on a mooring ball. As opposed to anchoring for free, for only $20 we could use the showers, laundry, and have use of a courtesy car. We loved the Beaufort City Marina already!

The next morning when Kim pulled the rope to lower the anchor light it pulled off the light, so Aislin got a turn to go up the mast and retrieve the light.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beaufort is very dog friendly, with a row of restaurants with outdoor seating that allow dogs. One of the restaurants even had a separate menu for dogs, which Brooke thought was delicious (not that she has a discriminating palate).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful waterfront area with rows of swings to enjoy the cool breeze!
