	Beaufort Military
		Beaufort and Port Royal are proud to host three military bases, and more than 17,000 active duty military members and their families live and work in the area. In Port Royal, the U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island transforms 20,000 recruits a year into Marines, while the Naval Hospital meets the medical needs of the area’s Marines and sailors, their families, and the many military retirees who call the Lowcountry home. The Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort is home to Marine Aircraft Group-31, one of the world's largest aircraft groups. Attractions on the Naval Hospital grounds include Naval Heritage Park with giant oaks, and the tabby—seashell and mortar—ruins of Fort Frederick, built in 1732.
