We watch for the shrimp boats to return with their catch and then we head over to the Gay Shrimp Co.(just across the bridge) for some really fresh seafood. We walk the beach; look for seashells (we have found several conch shells); used the trails; climb the lighthouse; lay on the beach; surf fish on the beach; fish from the pier; go crabbing at the marsh; sit under the awning (lots of bug spray); and just relax.
We will usually take a day and go into Beaufort and check out the shops; the park that is located on the water; taken boat tours of the harbor; eat at one of the local eatetries; check out the historic district.
Over the years, we have taken day trips to Hilton Head (about 45 minutes); Savannah (about 1 3/4 hrs) and also into Charleston (about 2 hrs).
Beaufort also has lots of used furniture stores since it is near the marine base and we have found many items that are now in use in our fifth wheel.
When we go there, it's mostly about the beach, family time and relaxing. We don't feel that we have to be going and doing.
