Beaufort has many stately homes on par with Savannah or even Charleston. Beaufort is actually older than both cities.
The city has set aside areas for nature and for all to enjoy:
Thursday we took a drive to Hilton Head. The drive took longer than I anticipated because of traffic. By the time we parked the truck it was about 1 PM. We parked at Coligny where there was easy access to many restaurants and the beach. We had a fabulous lunch at the Market Cafe. The menu was Mediterranean and American. We walked to the beach and we were glad to see a mat that extended over the loose sand of the beach to the water. Doreen drove her scooter to the end and was nervous about going further.
After getting up her gumption she took a running start and she made it to the firm, compact part of the beach.
We walked/ rode for a while down the beach and Doreen got stuck only once. Getting off the beach proved to be more difficult as the mat had a lip and was slightly up hill. Despite taking a running start Doreen could not make it. Two gentleman came over to give a hand as they watched Doreen's failed effort. They said they were watching, and debated if she was going to make it or not.
Hilton Head is definitely upscale and you need some serious bucks to live there. The island is bicycle friendly with three different loops around the island winding through beautiful parks. Keep in mind traffic is heavy on Route 278 so give yourself plenty of time.
Hilton Head was our last outing in South Carolina. We left there today and are now in Thonotosassa, FL at Happy Traveler RV park. We are close to I-75 and I-4.
Miles this leg: 404.2
Total miles: 1742.2 Total miles does not include mileage while in the area. I probably put 1,200 miles on while in SC driving to Charleston four times and numerous times to Beaufort.
