Tour the Town
Take a horse and buggy carriage tour around “The Point” and the Beaufort National Historic District as expert guides tell stories about the homes, local history, even celebrity gossip.
No matter your interest or mode of transportation, this area beckons you to get out and explore.
If you’d rather see the sights on your own two feet, there are several walking tours available. Local historians lead tours that get up-close with historic homes. Perhaps pedaling is more your speed. Sea Island Bike Tours offers guided excursions throughout the area. You can customize a tour to fit your agenda and pace. For a different perspective, climb aboard a boat tour. Several charter boats take you along the Beaufort River or the ACE Basin.
