<b>Beaufort gets kudos&nbsp;</b><b>for foodie scene</b>

Beaufort has been lauded on another national list, this time for its food.

USA Today’s Go Escape magazine recently recognized Beaufort as one of the “Towns That Lives to Eat.”

“Often described as the most beautiful town in the South, Beaufort, S.C., is surrounded by water,” states the article. “This Lowcountry island village perches halfway between Charleston and Savannah, Ga., where marshes glow golden at sunrise and sunset.&nbsp;

“While folks come for the history — Beaufort dates to before the American Revolution — the restaurants keep them satisfied. You’ll find shrimp and grits for breakfast, and a bounty of seafood at lunch and dinner.&nbsp;

“Noteworthy spots include Wren, Breakwater and Saltus River Grill restaurants, all serving sea flavors with farm produce. On a drive out to tour St. Helena Island’s Penn Center, one of the first schools for freed slaves, stop by the Shrimp Shack for a shrimp burger.”
