Parris Island is located in Beaufort County, South Carolina. A very small town with a population of about 5,000, it is best known for its US Marine Corps training facility. Each year, close to 16,000 marines pass through the rigorous boot camp in this small military town. Parris is quite small with a total area of 20 square miles of which nearly 1/3 is water.

Marines were first stationed on Parris Island in 1891 and over the years, this town has been officially designated as a Marine Corps recruitment depot.
