''Beaufort has some great restaurants these days but Beaufort Grocery was the original ''nice'' restaurant in town. Creative menu, great food!...''

''These guys just opened and and have everything a self brewer may want to make their own brew. A perfect addition to this town! I was stopping in to see what it is all about, and the guys were so nice and informative, it seemed easy to brew...so I bought my own brewing set up and am now making my first run of my own beer....sooooo coooolllllll!!!!!!...''

''Island traders is a discount name brand shop with such brands as nautica and Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Soles of the Tropics shoes. It also holds a variety of oceangoing knicknacks such as international flag code flags, as do many shops in the area. I rather liked it....''

''Pros: Personalized service
this is a fabulous little bookstore with a great children's section and lots of local and regional books you won't find anywhere else. It also features bestsellers and has inexpensive used books...''

''We live in the area! This is a wonderful place. If you visit at just the right time, the kids (or you!) can watch the staff make HOMEMADE fudge! It is very neat. They offer a variety of flavors. My favorite is the Chocolate Peanut Butter. Go visit!...''

''This is a darling little store where the owner personally greets you as you walk in. She does beautiful, painted personalization within 20-30 minutes. I make this my first stop at this store each time I visit Beaufort. I pick out something cute for my daughters and continue my shopping. Once I'm done shopping I pick up my products and they are always lovely!...''
