Take a day trip to Beaufort, South Carolina
Beaufort, South Carolina is 30miles away from Bluffton/Hilton Head. If you are staying in Daufuskie Island and want a historical day trip away from the island that is rich in history drive over for the day. Mother's Day Weekend: My mom and I took off like Thelma and Louise for a long weekend away from Atlanta. We had an inexpensive hotel booked but that was our only plan. We traveled from Atlanta to Beaufort, South Carolina. We had heard that Beaufort is a mini Charleston and rich with history and art. If you want a luxurious or romantic getaway stay at the Rhett House Inn right down town or the Beaufort Inn. Take a horse drawn carriage through the Spanish moss draped live oak trees to learn about the history of Beaufort. The shops and art galleries line Bay Street, the main street in Beaufort.
