Overview

Pat Conroy's family moved to Beaufort when he was 15.  He adopted Beaufort as his home and Beaufort adopted Pat as our own!  Join us on this 1 1/2 hour tour of "Pat's Conroy's Beaufort," from his boyhood home to his favorite restaurant to Prince of Tides and Great Santini locations in the film adaptations of Pat's such autobiographical novels.

Meeting points

We leave from the benches at the entrance to Waterfront Park. If you park at 1006 Bay Street, which is the Beaufort Downtown Marina, walk towards the boats on the water and look to the left and you will see the benches. One of the benches says "here are my plans for Saturday."

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Great tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Janet was so knowledgeable, funny, and nice! The tour was an hour and just the right amount of time.

Even Pat Conroy would have enjoyed this tour.

We could not have picked a better day to tour Beaufort or a better guide than Janet McCauley. We've lived in Beaufort for 20 years and still learned a ton from Janet's thorough explanations. Beaufort and Pat Conroy both have rich histories, and she knew just how to present them. Highly recommend this tour.

Pat Conroy's best experience!!

On Sunday 10/27/2024 My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful Pat Conroy golf cart tour in Beaufort. Our guide (Janet) was fantastic and very knowledgeable of Beaufort history as well as Pat Conroy. Janet was fabulous and answered every question we had to the fullest. Definitely will give her 10 stars for the tour. She loves what she does and will go out of her way to make sure you are comfortable and relax during the tour. I recommend her 100 percent. You will not regret it. We will be back to Beaufort and will most likely request her for our next guided tour.

Highlight of trip!

Our tour guide Karen was incredible. Besides her extensive knowledge of Pat Conroy, she also showed her love of Beaufort through description and history of this beautiful town, including identifying the local flora. Golf cart tours are the best for those with mobility issues and this tour even included hearing devices so you wouldn't miss a word! Highly recommend and ask for Karen!

Amazing tour, exceeded our expectations!

Karen was an amazing tour guide! Very informative and friendly. I am a fan of Pat Conroy but the tour satisfied my husband as well. I would recommend this for any visitor !
