The pleasure of taste.
At Breakwater Restaurant and Bar, you’ll experience all that Beaufort, South Carolina has to offer. From fresh and unique Southern-Inspired plates made for all palates, to a refreshing atmosphere and Southern hospitality that greets you at every turn.
Breakwater is committed to supporting local fisheries and farms, and whenever possible, we source our seafood and other ingredients locally. We strive to purchase the highest possible quality, and when local products are unavailable, we rely on trusted domestic suppliers who meet our standards. Due to the nature of seasonality, daily availability, and purveyor supply chains, exact origin may not always be verifiable.
Our online menu offers a close representation of our current offerings, but it may not always reflect real-time changes. We update our selections regularly to highlight seasonal ingredients and the freshest products available.
