Beaufort, South Carolina is a charming, walkable Lowcountry town with preserved antebellum streets, waterfront parks, a lively small-but-growing food and arts scene, and easy outdoor options (kayaking, marsh trails and nearby beaches) that make multi-week stays feel like a relaxed coastal retreat rather than being stuck in a dull assignment.
You’re within an easy drive of Savannah (about 42 miles) for bigger-city dining, nightlife and airport access, and Charleston (about 70 miles) for museums, festivals and broader cultural options..
