The Beaufort Guide

Bill Reynolds and Davis Folsom have been tour guides in Beaufort, South Carolina for years. They decided to put together a handy guide with all the great things that Beaufort has to offer, many of which you might miss or never find out about without the help of local tour guides.

Covid gave us time to put together this guide to Beaufort’s remarkable Lowcountry life: a saltwater natural paradise, fun festivals, seafood delicacies, amazing history and a unique way of living.

If you live here, send our book to your friends, but only if you want them to stay longer!
