Seabrook
Neighborhood in Beaufort, South Carolina
Beaufort County 29906, 29940
Seabrook Point and Stuart Point are HOA communities
Seabrook can be divided into three distinct residential sections. Most of the original ranch-style homes were built between the 1960s and ‘90s on half- to one-acre lots. These properties sit outside any Homeowners Associations, “so you don’t have so many restrictions or rules,” Rambo says. “You have a lot of people coming in now to build manufactured housing and those kinds of mobile homes.” Depending on their age, most of these listings range between $70,000 and $300,000. The south end of the neighborhood is a private HOA community called Seabrook Point. It features New Traditional ranch-style homes from the 1990s and empty wooded lots just under an acre. Resale listings here usually range between $500,000 to $825,000, while nearly an acre of land starts at around $75,000. Stuarts Point is another private HOA community occupying the entire north end of Seabrook. Some of the older vernacular homes with marshland views can range from $650,000 to $960,000. One-acre land lots with private boat docks extending into the Whale Branch can go for up to $450,000. Some new construction two-story farmhouses were added to Stuarts Point in 2023. These usually fall within the $325,000 to $425,000 range.

Highway 21 crosses the Whale Branch Passage into Seabrook
Heading southeast, U.S. Highway 21 crosses the Whale Branch Passage and runs through the center of Seabrook. It connects to the Marine Corps Air Station in about 7 miles, and Parris Island is just another 11 miles southeast. Beaufort Memorial Hospital and the County’s charming Historic Downtown sit about 10 miles from Seabrook. Following Highway 21 northwest, residents can easily hop on U.S. Highway 17 and get on Interstate 95 in about 8 miles. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is less than 45 miles south from I-95.

Home to three Beaufort County Public Schools
Seabrook is home to three of the 32 public schools in Beaufort County. Whale Branch Elementary scores a C on Niche. First through fourth grade students attend class at the main campus in Seabrook, while the James J. Davis Learning Center hosts the preschool and kindergarten program across the water. Back in Seabrook, Whale Branch Middle earns a C-plus, and Whale Branch Early College High gets a B-plus. This school partners with the Technical College of the Lowcountry to help all its students graduate with a two-year associates degree.

Catch redfish off the Whale Branch Fishing Pier
The Whale Branch Fishing Pier stretches out into deep brackish waters, far past the marshlands along Seabrook’s northwest coast. Whale Branch Passage links the Broad and Coosaw Rivers, which creates the perfect breeding grounds for a variety of Lowcountry wildlife. “The marshlands and waterways back there are basically little nurseries throughout the year,” Skrip says. “You can catch redfish, spottails or flounder pretty much anytime, and during the summer, you’ll have a bunch of baby sharks and stingrays, but they’re all really little.” Folks with private boat docks launch skiffs and small motorboats straight from their own backyard. Seabrook Point residents can use their HOA-funded community boat ramp to jet off into the Broad River. One of the only three drive-in movie theaters in South Carolina sits just 7 miles southeast. Every Thursday through Sunday night, families can head just a few miles down the road to watch a movie from their truck bed at Highway 21 Drive-In.

Hear the sound of freedom from Seabrook
The north and south edges of Seabrook sit within an Air Installation Compatible Use Zone or AICUZ. Just a few miles from the Marine Corps Air Station of Beaufort, Seabrook residents hear fighter jets fly overhead often. While this may be a problem for some, Rambo says, “We actually like to hear them; it’s one of the most iconic things for the whole area.” She says most locals call it “the sound of freedom.”Beaufort Station is "an exciting" new shopping complex
A 200,000 square-foot shopping complex broke ground in 2023 just 10 miles down the highway. Beaufort Station, as it’s known, sits in the heart of Burton across from the local Walmart and a much older retail strip, Cross Creek Plaza. The new shopping center currently features department stores like Homegoods and TJ Maxx, and developers say four chain restaurants, that have yet to be announced, should be open by the end of 2024. Just northwest of Seabrook, Lowcountry Produce is “a cool little restaurant in Lobeco,” says Chris Skrip, a local Realtor and co-owner of RE/MAX Dream. “They sell fresh vegetables and do a lot of canning over there; and in the fall, they’ll have pumpkins for the kids.”
