Carolina Day Trips: Insider
Tips for Visiting Beaufort,
SC
|
|
favorite stop on the way to Beaufort is Old Sheldon Church Ruins. A majestic sanctuary in its day,
the building was burned and destroyed in 1779 by British troops. It was rebuilt, only to be burned
again by General Sherman's army during the Civil War. All that remains are its stately columns and
the building's shell but it's still a favorite destination for special services and worth a side trip to
see this haunting piece of history.
Then, head for town and some remedial shopping. Bay Street has lots of wonderful little shops -
art galleries and gift/jewelry shops, including The Craftseller.
Stop for lunch at Panini's on Bay Street. Insider tip: try the pear and
gorgonzola salad. (www.paniniscafe.net).
Plan to spend several hours at Hunting Island State Park. On the way along Highway 21,
stop in Frogmore at the Red Piano Too Art Gallery, with its folk art, jewelry, and more. (www.redpianotoo.com)
If you're still hungry when you pass the Shrimp Shack, stop and order a shrimp burger -
the Lowcountry's version of fast food.
Happy and definitely not hungry, you'll arrive at Hunting Island - Located approximately
16 miles east of Beaufort on Highway 21. This 5,000-acre park offers its visitors three miles of gorgeous public beaches.
There's a very long fishing pier, a lighthouse, campsites and cabins. If the surroundings look familiar,
it might be because Disney's "The Jungle Book" was filmed here. (www.huntingisland.com) |

Back in town, try Plum's for dinner - a great location to sit and enjoy the waterfront park. Relax and
enjoy the sea breeze -- you've earned a rest.
