Great park. Plenty of space for kids and adults to play. Park benches every where to sit and view the water. Places to eat all along the park. Great place to walk your dog. Dont miss this one.

This was one of the nicest waterfront recreational parks that Ive ever visited. The park was immaculate and free of trash. Across the street there are lots of stores ranging from candy to clothes. Around the outside parameter there is a wonderful assortment of outdoor/indoor restaurants. There are lots of seats and old fashioned multi- person wooden swings. This park also contains a huge pavilion where summer events a held throughout the season. I rate this an 8 out of 10 for overall satisfaction. Well worth making the effort to get there. Yes, there is plentiful free parking as well as handicapped parking.

This riverfront park is absolutely beautiful. The landscaping, trees and flowers are gorgeous. You can sit peacefully on the bench swings and look out at the water. Sometimes the swing bridge opens, to let the boats through. I also loved the little shops and cafes, where you can get something to eat or drink. Theres also a playground for kids and a big center stage area for events. I cant wait to keep going back!

Henry C. Chambers Park is beautiful and serene. I used to visit it 40 years ago. The reason I gave only 4 stars was because the emptiness while there reminded me we were in Corona virus mode.

The Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in Beaufort is a great park that is beautiful and well maintained. I really like that this park runs a long length of the waterfront and there are there are perfect views of the water no matter where you are at the park. The walkway along the water is well paved and easy to walk. One of my favorite parts is the swings that face towards the water as there seems to be enough swings for everyone to enjoy even when the park is crowded as this is not the case in all waterfront parks that have more limited swing availability. There is also a lot of grass and green space at the park that is perfect for having a picnic or running around. Overall I really enjoyed this park and want to return soon.

Such a breathtaking place. We went kayaking and had a wonderful time with a company that is stationed there. The owner, Mike, is amazing. He gave us an informative tour as we paddled through the river. We had such a great time. If youre ever in Beaufort, make sure you head down to this area for a very serene experience.

Thibault Gallery has a wonderful selection of incredibly talented and diverse artists! I always see things I want either as gifts or for myself. I particularly enjoy the First Friday events because you get to meet the artists and its so interesting to get to know them. Mary and Eric Thibault are both such talented, kind, and fun people you cant help but love going in there! A very special place, indeed!

This is a beautiful park by the waterfront in Beaufort, SC. There are a couple of restaurants in the area that you can sit outside at, with a view of the water. Also ice cream shops, novelty stores, etc., There are big swings that you can sit on looking over the water. One of my fave spots in Beaufort.

Hadnt been there in three years. It was fun to walk along the waterline. Found an amazing find of a dead sand dollar. Have to make sure they are dead. Lots of people collect them and they are still alive. Not cool. So many different kinds of birds. Hoping to see dolphins but didnt see any.

Review №33

Highly recommended! Gorgeous downtown park area. Has a playground, swings facing the water to enjoy the sunset and we got lucky and saw some dolphins swim by at sunset. Quite magical! And all the shops and restaurants are a short walk. Be aware the parking meters are strictly enforced—to the minute. Make sure your meter is filled! We missed a ticket by about 30 seconds as we raced back to add more change!

This is an opportunity that no one should pass on. The city/county of Beaufort struck a homerun on this park. From the store owners to the weather. The restaurants on the river are phenomenal and the views priceless. Just spend three hours hear (easy) and thank God for the views.

Lovely waterfront area with great places to sit and watch sail boats and the turning bridge. Also, great place to walk or run. Playground area for children with a clean bathroom close by. Lots of restaurants, ice cream shops, and retail stores within walking distance. And also, located in a historic district so lots of historical places to visit and learn about Beaufort history.

This place was fantastic. I cant wait to go back and walk it again. Its a method to walk the back door of the Bay St businesses.A walk of respect to military members, and a brief Beaufort history compliment an historic member of South Carolina past.The playground was wonderful as well with numerous platforms to allow a little one to play safely and to indulge their imaginations.

Cool place on Beaufort South Carolina. Went on our way to Charleston because its the bridge that Forrest gump started his countrywide run at. Theres also a pirate ship there you can tour. The downtown area is really cool with alot of art studios. The food here was great on the water front. Park has couple benches with the vines growing on the sides its really neat and hip.

Wonderful place to stroll and to enjoy a very favorable atmosphere. The waterfront park offers a great alternative, or a break, from several unique shops and diverse restaurants within close proximity.

There was so many places and activities to do here at the waterfront. Shopping in the stores was hassle free and everyone there was friendly and helpful. The food was great too. The museum was a great place to start as the we journeyed to the rest of the island. Walking is your best friend so make sure you have comfortable shoes.
