The Beaufort Inn consists of the main Inn house and surrounding cottages. The main Inn House is a classic example of Victorian architecture with front wide porches and curved rear porches designed to catch the soothing sea breezes. Guests have been welcomed to the Inn for more than 100 years. Built as a summer retreat for his family by attorney and Congressman William Sidney Smith in 1897, the Inn has been completely restored and renovated with modern amenities. The main house contains guest rooms and event spaces and is surrounded by lush private gardens.
The Beaufort Inn offers unsurpassed accommodations in a setting "Where History is Made."

Carriage and walking tours offer insights into our history from the War for Independence, Civil War, reconstruction, and movies such as The Big Chill, The Prince of Tides, Forrest Gump, The Jungle Book, The Great Santini and Forces of Nature. River cruises show Beautiful Beaufort from the water and typically include dolphins and other wildlife. It's a short drive to Hunting Island State Park which was ranked as the 8th best beach in the US in 2008 according to www.tripadvisor.com. Ranked as a top 20 fishing destination in the US, Beaufort offers a number of guided fishing trips as well as many spots for public fishing.
