Dataw Island, SC Hometown of Beaufort Wins ‘Happiest’
in Awards & Honors, NewsResidents at Dataw Island are a little happier today because its hometown of Beaufort, SC was just named the #1 Happiest Seaside Town in America by Coastal Living Magazine.
Beaufort won the accolade after the consideration of a number of factors:
Here’s what Coastal Living had to say about the town of Beaufort, SC:
Beaufort sits on Port Royal Island, in a verdant curve of the Intracoastal Waterway in the heart of the Sea Islands, as it has for a little more than 300 years (making it the second-oldest city in South Carolina). It is glorious strolling here; much of the architecture remains intact, thanks in large part to the Historic Beaufort Foundation (which puts on a stunning Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens every October).
Beyond being an elegant and welcoming urban center of 12,534 locals, Beaufort is also a springboard for exploring natural environs, including Hunting Island, a 5,000-acre state park with more than three miles of pristine beach known as among the most sublime in the state. And then, as any local will tell you, there’s the shrimp. And the sweet tea. And the mandevilla-perfumed breezes that imbue the slowed pace of Lowcountry life. All of it, in Beaufort.
Local Resident on American Idol
Other news from Beaufort, SC includes local resident Candace Glover’s recent win on American Idol, becoming the last contestant standing in the annual talent competition. Known for her powerful voice, Glover hails from Saint Helena Island, just two miles from Dataw Island. She will be bringing a brighter spotlight on the area as she begins her singing career.
