Beaufort Airport and Transportation

Getting To and Around Beaufort Made Easy For Beaufort Real Estate Owners

Beaufort Highways
Beaufort SC is located in the southeastern part of South Carolina. Two main highways provide access to the region. U.S. Route 21 to the north or S.C. Route 170 to the southwest.

Beaufort County Airport
The Beaufort County Airport is a small FBO with a 3,430-foot runway that serves private, corporate and cargo planes. The Beaufort County Airport offers Avgas and Jet A fuel, a pilot lounge and showers.

Savannah-Hilton Head and Charleston International Airport
Commercial air travelers typically use Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport or Charleston International Airport for scheduled flights. Rental cars are available in the larger airports. Savannah is about a 45-minute drive, and Charleston is 65 miles away, an easy hour and a half drive. There are eight U.S. Airways Express flights and three Delta Connection trips scheduled daily; rentals as well as charter planes are also available.

Beaufort Trains
An Amtrak train passes through Yemassee, a tiny town about 25 miles north of Beaufort SC. One northbound and one southbound train stop at Yemassee each day. The northbound train arrives and departs the quaint station headed for New York City. It stops in Washington, D.C., so a journey to the nation’s capital or to points north is a nice overnight trip. The train, which also stops at Savannah and Charleston, has sleeper cars.

Beaufort Boating Options
Beaufort real estate owners that enjoy traveling the open seas have several options for docking at marinas, private or public boat landings. The main dock for Beaufort SC is the Downtown Marina of Beaufort, which is a daydock. Public boat landings also include Fort Frederick on the Beaufort River or Port Royal next to the boardwalk. //
