The Town of Port Royal is located between the Beaufort River and Battery Creek in the South Carolina Lowcountry. The Town is home to two military installations, Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island and Naval Hospital, Beaufort, as well as neighbor to the historic City of Beaufort and The Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort. Historic Port Royal is a well kept secret being only five miles from downtown Beaufort, a hour from Historic Charleston, Savannah and a short drive to Bluffton and Internationally known Hilton Head Island.

The Town takes pride in its unique natural environment and its accessibility to that environment through its network of walking trails, community beach, boardwalk, and observation tower. Port Royal is experiencing significant growth which has led to the revitalization of the traditional, historical, mixed-use core; the renovation of historic homes; residential infill in and around downtown; and the expansion of the Town's  elementary school. Port Royal seeks to foster community and direct new development with the guidance of a Neo-Traditional Master Plan. The Town of Port Royal is recognized as one of America's leaders in small town New Urbanism.

Beaufort, South Carolina

 

Beaufort is located on Port Royal Island, one of the large Sea Islands along the southeast Atlantic coast of the U.S. It is one of the few towns with its entire downtown designated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as a historic district. The town was filled with mansions built by the wealthy plantation owners before the Civil War. It was one of the only Southern towns occupied by Union troops, rather than destroyed during the war. More than 50 historic structures have been identified and include many lovely private homes beautifully restored and enjoyable on tour by professional guides, either walking or via horse-drawn carriage or bus. Spring and fall events offer special opportunities for visitors to tour several private homes and gardens.

Art galleries, antique shops and modern boutiques are also within the downtown walking area, not to mention fine dining and quick eateries. The moderate climate hosts outdoor relaxation for meals or park enjoyment almost year-round.
