Lowcountry Must-See’s: Charleston, Savannah & Beaufort

Classic Charleston Charm at Handsome Listing Fenwick Hall

Nicknamed ‘The Holy City,’ Charleston has become an urban powerhouse, with growth in the arts, urban walkability, and exciting nightlife! Although Charleston has grown expansively in recent years, locals enjoy all the luxurious amenities a small town has to offer.

With its close proximity to numerous beaches and resorts, including Kiawah Island, Charleston is the perfect blend of urban epicenter and island oasis. 

Voted number 1 city in the United States by Travel + Leisure Magazine for the sixth consecutive year and number 10 city in the world, Charleston’s rich history, award-winning restaurants, and exciting culture keep thriving. Kiawah Island was named the number 3 island in the continental United States.

With its beautiful private beach and golf resort, Kiawah Island is one of the many luxurious amenities that Charleston residents enjoy due to its close proximity and gorgeous shoreline!

Known for its Spanish Moss-draped oak trees and being the oldest city in Georgia, Savannah maintains its southern charm appeal. Located on the Savannah River, which separates Georgia from South Carolina, Savannah has become an important industrial center and Atlantic seaport.

Filled with historic homes, fine dining, and 22 parklike squares, Savannah has become a charming escape for visitors of all types. Tybee Island is only 20 minutes from downtown Savannah and boasts of a quaint sea town and white sand beaches.

Beaufort is the second-oldest city in South Carolina, and much smaller in population than the first two cities on our list. Named “The South’s Best Small Town” by Southern Living Magazine in 2017, Beaufort is best known for its quiet lifestyle and beautiful surrounding islands.

Due to its proximity to Hilton Head Island and Savannah, Beaufort’s location makes it a prime place for tourism, business development, and residential properties. 

Beaufort has become a popular tourist destination for those who want the lowcountry historic charm, without being in a big city. Beaufort also has a large military presence as it is the home of the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
