Let me think of the best way to define Beaufort..... oh I know!!!! HORRID! My husband and I were stationed in Beaufort for 2 years and all I can say is what an aweful town it is. I am sure if you were raised here it would be different, the majority of the people here are rude and inconsiderate, they aren't happy to have the military here (proven by their bumper stickers 'save our space, get rid of the base') though the military make up a good portion of this town.
In regards to the drivers here, I would take an LA freeway at rush hour over driving here, red lights here are a suggestion not the rule, tailgating is considered only 2" off your bumper, and the excessive concern for how one's hair and make-up looks or whether or not the seat is "far enough" reclined takes presedence over paying attention to the road. The only thing that is here in the way of shopping is a Wal-Mart kindly referred to by the locals as "Wally World". You have to drive to either Charleston or Savannah to go to anything that resembles a mall, both of which are almost 2 hours away, despite what mapquest says.
Given I am originally from the west coast I am a pretty open-minded person, I am 27 years old, and female. I would not want my child in the school systems here due to the way I see te children act, they too have no manners.
Good Things About Beaufort....
Parris Island, the Marine Corps recruit depot for the east coast, is located here and really neat to explore.
