Gary Lang, Beth Shaw and Donna Lang — owners of Breakwater Restaurant — are some of the most generous people I know and have contributed tirelessly to many charities and events in Beaufort since they originally opened years ago on West Street and at their current location on Carteret Street. Their restaurant has really added to the level of quality dining we are lucky to have here in Beaufort. Last Saturday, Beth and Donna hosted a surprise birthday for Gary at the restaurant and many well wishers turned out to greet him as he turned 50. Here are some pics for you:
