Historic Downtown Beaufort Recreation

Historic Downtown Beaufort Real Estate Offers a Multitude of Recreational Options

Boating, Touring and More
The quaint seaport of historic downtown Beaufort is home to year–round water sports such as boating and fishing. Historic Downtown Beaufort’s close proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway means one can charter a boat that departs from the downtown marina and ventures along the river for cruises or to deep water for serious sport fishing. Captain Wally of Sea Wolf Charters has been sailing the area waters for 45 years and is also a resident of Beaufort. His charters range from four to nine hours or more with treks as far as the Gulf Stream.

Beaufort’s quiet streets are a draw for local bicycle enthusiasts as well as runners, and the area’s climate makes Historic Downtown Beaufort a perfect venue for these activities.

Tours of the Historic Downtown Beaufort area are not just for tourists. See the beauty of downtown from a horse-drawn carriage or choose a walking tour to take in the sites. The National Register of Historical Places states there are 467 buildings of historical significance within Beaufort’s historic district. Many are the subjects of local artists who enjoy capturing the grandeur of days gone by.

Simpler Times Alive Again
Historic Downtown Beaufort real estate owners have enjoyed passing time sauntering along their sidewalks, often peeking into shop windows to see the latest work of art from their favorite painter or potter since Beaufort SC’s founding. Those simple pleasures continue today for Beaufort SC real estate owners who stroll in the early hours or after dinner, taking an ambling route that winds around from the front porch and continues along historic streets right up to the waterways and back again.

Beaufort SC real estate owners often pause at the Waterfront Park, where wooden bench swings face the river and beautifully landscaped parks beckon to couples with picnic baskets.  

People-watching from outside cafés could be an Olympic sport in Historic Downtown Beaufort. Sip a specialty coffee or your favorite brew as you take in the ocean breeze and watch the sun go down while the nightlife comes alive. Many downtown restaurants and clubs offer comfortable outdoor seating, a great place to hold “after hours” court with friends.  //
