I walked around the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in June 2021. It was a magical and peaceful place. There were great views of the water and the Woods Memorial Bridge (this is the bridge that Forrest Gump ran across). There were many (bench) swings facing the water and it looked very relaxing. Near the park are several restaurants and Bay Street. Near the beginning of the park and Bay Street, you can find the house where the movie "The Prince of Tides" was filmed. I really enjoyed walking around the waterfront, taking photos and looking at the water and the bridge.

This is a great starting point for your visit to Beaufort. There is convenient paid parking and you are in the heart of the area with all the shops and restaurants. A nice way to experience the Beaufort waterfront, historic sites and is a convenient base for your adventure.
There is a playground located in the park and restaurant that overlooks the water (great views).
TIP: There are plenty of photo opportunities in this park

A nicely sized, recently updated park between the water, hence its name, and the restaurant/shopping/historic district. Mr. Chambers clearly had foresight and those who followed him have expanded on his vision. Lawns, manicured landscaping, brick paths, swing seats, an ancient tabby seawall, a large pavilion and frequent on shore breezes. A good place to walk off some of the food from the many restaurants lining the land side.

Beautiful waterfront park! I especially enjoyed sitting with my son on one of the bench swings and soaking up the sun as we watched the boats go by on the river. The playground was great fun for my grandkids and had varied equipment to climb, ride and slide on. Walking a long the waterfront promenade was a delight but the only improvement we feel is needed is a more secure and safer barrier railing that small children can’t fall through into the river. Though it’s aesthetically pleasing, the current one is nerve wracking for parents trying to keep kids safe without having to carry them.

I love the waterfront park. And thought the Gullah Festival would be a fun way to check out the culture. We got tickets for a sweetgrass basketmaking class, but unfortunately when we arrived the materials for the class were nowhere to be seen. There weren't enough chairs and people were crowded under a couple of small tents. After a half hour standing in the heat and still no materials, we decided to leave. All in all, poorly organized and no surprise the event wasn't well attended.

This is one of the nicest waterfront parks we have seen. Lots of seating, from tables and chairs, to benches and even swings to sit on and enjoy the waterfront. A play area for kids, nice plants, a pavilion for events and plenty of parking. Sit a while and you may get to see the bridge turn so a tall boat may pass under it. Hats off to BEAUFORT for such a nice park.

We walked to the park from our B&B. Found an open swing and relaxed after dinner as the sun went down. A wonderful cooling breeze was blowing. Lots of green space and what looked like a place for events and or live music. A children's playground was at the opposite end from the marina. Beautiful water views.

What a great place to walk, take a picnic and enjoy the swings and sunset. Lots of people just having a nice time and relaxing. I was impressed how clean and neat the entire walk was. Sunsets to die for, kids were playing and parents pushing strollers. Just a peaceful beautiful place. Beaufort you should be proud.

Small little park on the roof front with an exclusive pedestrian zone. Lots of people walking around in Kids playing. Good use of the waterfront with the boats at the landings in otherwise a great little walk

What a picturesque area! Lovely bench swings over the harbor and marsh view. We watched the bridge open and saw dolphins. There is a lovely lawn and plenty of places to stroll or rest. There's also a playground - it's under construction but looks like it will be great.

Are bicycles allowed in the park? On the walkway? Are there bike trails?

You can but I would suggest the Spanish Moss Trail. Over 18 miles of re-purposed railroad grade through the heart of the salt marshes surrounding Beaufort. Wonderful area to see the flora and fauna of the area.
Are pets allowed at the park during the Shrimp Festival.

Yes, pets are allowed on a leash.
Can we bring a small grill to the waterfront to have a very small birthday party for my 9 year old?

Park is great. Did not see any problems. Love the casual hometown atmosphere, by the water, near quaint stores, and peaceful environment.

Hi, I'm wanting g to take pictures at the waterfront on Sunday but I saw where construction was being done. Is the waterfront still open to the public?

I was wondering if special permits were necessary for a wedding at the park? We are planning a small (under 20 people), simple wedding ceremony in June. Thanks in advance for any information.
