The city of Beaufort offers picture-postcard examples of homes and buildings from the 1700s, 1800s
and 1900s, while adjacent Port Royal continues to be a growing, modern small town. The region's
contributions to our nation's defense are also apparent, with Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort
providing a home base for active Marine Corps and Navy aviation squadrons, and Marine Corps
Recruit Depot on Paris Island continuing its long history as the crucible that forges male Marines
from throughout the Eastern United States and women Marines from all over the nation.
Hollywood has long looked to the Lowcountry for compelling stories and beautiful backdrops for
movies such as "The Prince of Tides," "The Big Chill," "The Great Santini," "Forces of Nature, "Forrest

landscapes, make the communities in
Beaufort attractive for both longtime
residents and newcomers as a place to
visit or call home.

colonization. Sites throughout the
Lowcountry played important roles in the
American Revolutionary and Civil wars,
