New public pickleball courts are ready for play. The Sea Islands Pickleball Club hosted an event to mark the opening of the county’s newest public pickleball courts at Southside Park and Port Royal’s Shell Point. Beaufort County has added six outdoor pickleball courts in Beaufort, Bluffton, and Port Royal’s Shell Point. Beaufort County Parks and Recreation spent $75,000 to repair the courts, with each location now having one tennis court and two pickleball courts, a news release said.
