Our book is finally available on Amazon! Davis Folsom and I have written a book about all of the great things to do in Beaufort - that you might miss without the help of a local tour guide. Written by a couple of tour guides, here is a description of our book:

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 unique way of living.

Learn about "Beaufort time, Frogmore Stew, the "Beaufort Wave," and many scenes from Forrest Gump, Prince of Tides, The Big Chill and other movies filmed here. Attend our seasonal events including Taste of Beaufort, Shrimp, Gullah, Heritage Days, Night on the Town and Water Festivals. Enjoy the Fripp music scene or Paris Avenue street dances. Kayak, fish or fly over our estuaries, nurseries for shrimp, crab, oysters and clams. Walk the Spanish Moss Trail or any of our state and local parks. Join our tour of homes, tree walk, garden-a-day, or turtle watch.

Use our guide to decide when to come here, what not to miss, and make plans for many special events and activities available. We have divided the book into five sections: Get Outdoors, Events and Things to Do, History and Culture, Food and Drink, and Shopping.
If you live here, send our book to your friends, but only if you want them to stay longer!

‘The spirits guide me here’: Daufuskie Island native describes fight to save her home in O Magazine spread

Pat Conroy fans, you will want to take Sallie Ann's Authentic Gullah Tour of Daufuskie Island, where Pat taught for one year. He chronicled his year on Daufuskie in his first major novel "The Water is Wide." And Sallie Ann was one of his students in the two room schoolhouse (which is on her tour) during that year. Pat's story was made into the 1974 movie "Conrack," with Jon Voight playing Pat, as well as a later Hallmark movie called "The Water is Wide." Book her tour at https://daufuskieislandgullahheritagesociety.org/. Here is Sallie Ann's story:
