Daufuskie Island, South Carolina

Daufuskie Island, which lies one mile away from Hilton Head Island across Calibogue Sound, is situated halfway between Hilton Head Island and Savannah, Georgia. The tranquil island's western region is home to Gullah homes, ancient residences that have been owned by the Gullah people's descendants since the Civil War. The Gullah people were Africans who were held as slaves on Atlantic coast plantations. Once on the island, take advantage of the three miles of coastline and attractions including The Bloody Point Lighthouse & Museum at the island's southernmost point.

Since there are no bridges connecting Daufuskie to the South Carolina mainland, all entry to the island must be made by boat. Between Melrose Landing on Daufuskie and Buckingham Landing in the Bluffton region, a public ferry operates many daily crossings.

Residents can travel on a ferry that Beaufort County pays for. The Haig Point Club operates a separate, exclusive ferry service. Additionally, a number of private businesses offer 25–30 minute water taxi rides to the island. Although there are some ordinary vehicles on the island, most of the residents of the clubs and some of the other residents use golf carts and bicycles to get around.
