I'll vote for Beaufort. I've been going to Atlantic Beach for vacations regularly since I was a kid and we always walked through the shops/waterfront at Beaufort whenever we went there. 1/22/2012 12:30:59 PM |

Exuberant boats, the courthouse, and a fudge factory.
What more could you ask for. 1/22/2012 12:32:30 PM |
Mindstorm All American 15858 Posts user info edit post |
^ And the general store with lots of candy and overpriced touristy crap.
And that outdoorsy store in the same building as the fudge factory. 1/22/2012 12:33:37 PM |

You're probably bugging them just by calling them in the first place.
Is there anywhere else that pronounces it "Bo-furt"? Sounds like a redneck succeeded in mangling the pronunciation for all of posterity.1/22/2012 12:50:12 PM |

Beaumont. Beauregard. Beaufort Scale. Beau.
pretty much EVERY use of that root is pronounced "Bo", with the notable exception of "beauty".1/22/2012 1:12:33 PM |

^^^in my defense, I wasn't asking for other words or places with "beau" in the spelling that was pronounced "bo". I was particularly wondering if there were more towns named Beaufort and how they were pronounced, without having to Google it myself.
