According to a list compiled by AFAR, the "most charming small town" in all of South Carolina is Beaufor, praised for its culinary traditions, storytelling and Gullah Geechee music.
Here's what the site had to say about the most charming small town in the state:
"The antebellum mansions and towering oaks lining the streets of Beaufort have serious Hollywood cred: The Big Chill, The Prince of Tides, and Forrest Gump were all filmed here. For travelers, the appeal goes even deeper. Notable landmarks such as the 226-year-old Arsenal on Craven Street, with its rich and varied enchant history buffs, but Beaufort also has a strong Gullah Geechee influence. Learn how descendants of enslaved Africans brought to the coastal areas of the Sea Islands and Lowcountry have preserved their unique language and culture through a Gullah Heritage Trail Tour or Gullah-N-Geechee Mahn Tour of Hilton Head and St. Helena islands, respectively."
