1294 October 23, 2025 Beaufort And Gullah Grub

Tim was going to the beach to walk.  I was going to the dumpster to take the trash.  I decided to walk to the end of the park road.  As I walked back, I passed the beach access path.  I went to look at the water and then walked down to the shore.  In the far distance, I could see the lighthouse.  I made it my goal to walk to the lighthouse.  It was a lovely fall morning, perfect for a good long walk!

We too the Jeep and drove into Beaufort.  We parked at the waterfront lot and walked in the park. 

We passed the marina.

We walked through town.

For lunch, we had wanted to go to Gullah Grub.  We had eaten here years ago and remembered the good home cooked meal that we had.  Gullah culture is an important part of low country history.  These are descendants of enslaved West Africans.  There is a strong community of Gullah Geechee people here.  At the restaurant, our server was talking with us about our travels.  We mentioned that we had been here many years before and we particularly remembered the potato salad.  He told us that the same guy was making the potato salad and we were sure to enjoy it today as well.  The chef, who had overheard the conversation, came out from the kitchen. Mr. Green is 75 years old.  His greatest joy is cooking for people.  He has a program where he recruits high school students.  He takes them to his family farm and teaches them about growing food and then he brings them to his restaurant and teaches them how to cook.  He does everything with four basic tenants in mind:  love, kindness, tolerance, and respect.  It is his belief that we are meant to be helping one another.  He also believes that educating young people and giving them skills is the most important thing we can do.  The world needs more men like Bill Green.  This is not a fancy place and this is not fancy food.  The ambiance is unique.  We had a great meal of ribs and potato salad but the best part of our experience at Gullah Grub was chatting and sharing values.

 After lunch we went for a drive in the country.  We took Eddings Point Road to the end where we came upon a farm with lots of donkeys. 

There was also a large pig laying on the pasture…we never know what we are going to find!

This evening, we drove to the Visitor Center and then found a place to sit by the lagoon.

We went to the lighthouse but it was closed for construction.

We went to sit on the beach.

We took a small picnic to the Marsh Boardwalk.

We saw a bald eagle.

We stayed for sunset.
