Restaurants in Beaufort, SC
The taste of the Lowcountry’s unique culture is only a short walking distance from 607 Bay Inn Downtown Beaufort. The region’s coastal fare is derived from fresh seafood including shrimp, oysters, crab and fish, and often accompanied by produce from local farms such as tomatoes, corn and squash. Yet, those aren’t the only things on the menu; South Carolina’s BBQ roots, in addition to Steak, Sushi, Greek, Chinese and Thai, are all available as an epicurean delight. Best of all, many of these fine experiences can be enjoyed while taking in exceptional views of the Beaufort river, evening sunsets, and moonlit nights.
