The hustle and bustle of big city life is often a draw for tourists looking to explore what exciting nightlife and award-winning restaurants. However, some of the most charming and interesting places to visit are the smaller towns scattered around the vast expanse of America.
Cheapism searched around the U.S. for the best small towns to visit in the country, compiling a list of the "cute small towns [that] represent much of what is great about each state or region, just on a smaller scale than larger cities — and typically at a lower price."
Among the list, which includes stunning destinations like seaside towns in Florida and locales in the heart of "bourbon country" in Kentucky, is one town in South Carolina. Beaufort was named one of the best smaller towns to visit in the country, earning praise for its outdoor activities, historic district and "Southern Charm." The site also suggests checking out the McIntosh Book Shoppe, which has tomes about the Civil War and out-of-print titles.
Here's what the site had to say:
"The narrow tree-lined streets of Beaufort's historic district are a big draw for visitors in search of Southern charm. Guided tours are available by food, horse-drawn carriage, or van, but the visitors center also hands out maps for self-guided tours of local churches and other historical sites. Coastal Beaufort also offers plenty of cruises, fishing charters, kayaking, and more."
