If you are interested in the South, you must see Port Royal. The revitalization of our town has brought us several new businesses including specialty stores, gift shops, and restaurants offering a delicious variety of cuisine. Port Royal also has a wide range of recreational activities including The Sands Beach, the boardwalk & observation tower, and boat ramp. These are all located at the southern most tip of Port Royal Island at the intersection of the Beaufort River and Battery Creek. Come relax on The Sands Beach and have a peaceful picnic, then take a stroll down the boardwalk to the observation tower and watch the boats float by. Live Oaks Park is another spot to check out while you’re here. It is family oriented with an incredible playground, a covered oyster shed with fireplace and barbeque pit, tennis courts, basketball court, and a lighted roller hockey rink. All of these facilities are open to the public and can be reserved for special events. Intended to promote health and fitness, the Town of Port Royal’s Walking Trails consist of a 3.1 and a 5 mile walking and jogging path. The trails are marked and wind through the town village area, Live Oaks Park, Cypress Boardwalk, Sands Beach and Boardwalk, and the YMCA.
