Our Hilton Head spot was just inside the bridge over the Intercoastal Waterway. It’s called a “RV resort” because of its upgraded amenities relative to regular parks. We especially appreciated the trees and shrubs that blocked direct view of our neighbor. We had a great site that backed up to a view of the harbor and lots of manicured grass with trees on one side for Joey, our Corgi.
Unfortunately, the winter storm that dumped snow and ice over much of the country followed us south, so we had a lot of windy temperatures in the 40s and 50s, with some good rain as well (no snow or ice), so we were mostly limited to indoor activities.
Notable activities included:
Touring Beaufort: The city is pronounced Byoo-fert. This is an historic town with strip along the bay with restaurants and boutique shopping. We toured a museum in the visitors center with exhibits about the town’s history, walked through a neighborhood with historic homes, and had a nice lunch.
Driving tour of a couple other islands: The very low country drive included Fort Frederick Hertitage Preserve, not being allowed on Fripp Island (it’s a private island), and lunch at Beedos (they feature brekkie and sandos).
Arcade: We played air hockey, duck pin bowling, and a couple video games. I can see how Halo can be addicting.
We enjoyed our time in Beaufort SC. The mnemonic they taught us to differentiate between "Byoo-fort" SC and "Bow-fort" NC is "Beautiful Byoo-fort By the Sea" for SC. The ironic thing is Beaufort NC is closer to the sea, and "Beautiful Bow-fort by the sea" works just as well. We still remember it, though.
