Beaufort’s coastal location makes it home to many fun activities. Located on Port Royal Island on the southern part of South Carolina, there are many outdoor events to partake in.
Huntington Park is the first area where I recommend going. This park is a large, secluded barrier island with lots of wildlife and beauty. It is also home to Huntington Island Lighthouse, which is the only lighthouse in South Carolina that is open to public visitors. Whether you want to enjoy the wilderness and lighthouse or spend a day relaxing on the beach, this is the destination for you!
Want to enjoy the ocean scenery without spending a day at the beach? There are lots of boating tours in the area. ACE Basin Tours, Inc. http://www.acebasintours.com/tourdetails.html offers a pontoon boating tour that leaves at 10:00 AM on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The boats fit up to 40 people and travels around the waters near Beaufort. Tickets are $35 dollars for adults and $12 dollars for children, but the price is well worth the experience.
If you want to learn about the natural environment surrounding Beaufort, visit the Lowcountry Estuarium. http://www.lowcountryestuarium.org/index.htm Here you can find out about the beach and coastal areas in the area. There are lots of hands on activities, programs and group tours. Adult admission is only $4 dollars.
Hope everyone has enjoyed our stop in Beaufort, SC. Get excited for this week’s edition on Savannah, GA where Lindsay and Danielle have spent the past few days!
