Daufuskie Island Adventure | South Carolina
Daufuskie Island, located between Hilton Head Island and Savannah, Georgia, is the southernmost inhabited sea island in South Carolina. It is 5 miles long by almost 2.5 miles wide – with an approximate surface area of 8 square miles (5,000 acres). With over 3 miles of beachfront, Daufuskie Island is surrounded by the waters of the Calibogue Sound, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean. Daufuskie is accessible only by ferry or barge, and has a full-time population of just over 400.
Daufuskie comes from the Muscogee language and means sharp feather, for the island's distinctive shape. As early as 1523, Spanish explorers were sailing the southeastern coast of North America in search of potential settlements. By 1565, the Spanish had settled in St. Augustine, Florida, and were pushing up the coast establishing and maintaining additional colonies. Around the same time the French also made attempts at colonization in South Carolina Lowcountry areas. By the mid-1600s the English began to explore the southern coast. Captain William Hilton and Robert Sandford both made voyages to Port Royal Sound and the surrounding areas. In July 1666 Sanford entered Calibogue Sound between Hilton Head and Daufuskie.
It was during this period of early exploration that Spanish settlers introduced their distinctive Iberian horses to the Southeastern coast. Today the descendants of these horses are known as Carolina Marsh Tacky. These sturdy, intelligent horses are particularly well adapted to the swampy and marshy lowcountry region. Examples of this rare breed can still be found on Daufuskie.
In 1684, Spanish soldiers enlisted the help of native warriors to fight Scottish settlers in Port Royal, and thus began the uneasy and difficult history of native entanglement in European settlement history. The inevitable clash of cultures culminated with the so-called Yamasee uprising that consisted of three brutal battles on the southwestern shore of Daufuskie Island between 1715 and 1717 that gave this piece of land the name it still bears today, Bloody Point.
The American Revolution brought divided loyalties to the lowcountry. Daufuskie received the nickname Little Bermuda during the Revolution due to the residents' Loyalist sentiments. After the Revolution, Daufuskie thrived with the introduction of world famous sea island cotton, a variety prized by European mills. High quality, sea island cotton exceeded all other long-staple cottons in fiber length, as well as fineness and strength. It was during this period of strong economic growth that several large plantation mansions were constructed.
The building of American wooden ships triggered the demand for timber from live oak trees abundant on Daufuskie. This hardwood species, unique to the southeastern coast, was prized by shipbuilders for its strength and resistance to rot, as well as its naturally curved limbs. Daufuskie was in the center of the live oaking trade crucial to the development of US maritime power. Shipwrights traveled to Daufuskie and the lowcountry to fell the oaks, hew them, and lug the pieces by oxen to coastal landings. The USS Constitution, Old Ironsides, was constructed with live oak.

Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island ???? | South Carolina

Hilton Head Island | South Carolina
Take a flight over Hilton Head Island with views of Daufuskie Island, Harbor Point and South Beach in Sea Pines, as well as views north over Palmetto Hall and Hilton Head Plantation.
Hilton Head Island has a rich history that started with seasonal occupation by Native Americans thousands of years ago, and continued with European exploration and the Sea Island Cotton trade. It became an important base of operations for the Union blockade of the Southern ports during the Civil War. Once the island fell to Union troops, hundreds of ex-slaves flocked to Hilton Head, which is still home to many of whom are descendants of freed slaves known as the Gullah (or Geechee) who have managed to hold on to much of their ethnic and cultural identity.
Views south show Daufuskie Island, located between Hilton Head Island and Savannah, Georgia. Daufuskie Island is the southernmost inhabited sea island in South Carolina.

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina - Harbour Town HD (2017)
Hilton Head Island, sometimes referred to as simply Hilton Head, is a Lowcountry resort town and barrier island in Beaufort County, South Carolina, United States. It is 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Savannah, Georgia, and 95 miles (153 km) southwest of Charleston. The island is named after Captain William Hilton, who in 1663 identified a headland near the entrance to Port Royal Sound, which he named Hilton's Head after himself. The island features 12 miles (19 km) of beachfront on the Atlantic Ocean and is a popular vacation destination. In 2004, an estimated 2.25 million visitors pumped more than $1.5 billion into the local economy. The year-round population was 37,099 at the 2010 census, although during the peak of summer vacation season the population can swell to 150,000. Over the past decade, the island's population growth rate was 32%. Hilton Head Island is a primary city within the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Beaufort metropolitan area, which had an estimated population of 207,413 in 2015.
The island has a rich history that started with seasonal occupation by Native Americans thousands of years ago, and continued with European exploration and the Sea Island Cotton trade. It became an important base of operations for the Union blockade of the Southern ports during the Civil War. Once the island fell to Union troops, hundreds of ex-slaves flocked to Hilton Head, which is still home to many native islanders, many of whom are descendants of freed slaves known as the Gullah (or Geechee) who have managed to hold on to much of their ethnic and cultural identity.
The Town of Hilton Head Island incorporated as a municipality in 1983 and is well known for its eco-friendly development. The town's Natural Resources Division enforces the Land Management Ordinance which minimizes the impact of development and governs the style of buildings and how they are situated amongst existing trees. As a result, Hilton Head Island enjoys an unusual amount of tree cover relative to the amount of development. Approximately 70% of the island, including most of the tourist areas, is located inside gated communities. However, the town maintains several public beach access points, including one for the exclusive use of town residents, who have approved several multimillion-dollar land-buying bond referendums to control commercial growth.
Hilton Head Island offers an unusual number of cultural opportunities for a community its size, including plays at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, the 120-member full chorus of the Hilton Head Choral Society, the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra, an annual outdoor, tented wine tasting event on the east coast, and several other annual community festivals. It also hosts the Heritage Golf Classic, a PGA Tour tournament played on the Harbour Town Golf Links in Sea Pines Resort.

Pinckney Island is a small island located right across the bridge from Hilton Head South Carolina
Unlike Daufuskie island, you don’t have to take a ferry to the island. Here are 7 reasons to visit Pinckney Island
Number 1. Get away from the crowds
I really enjoy Hilton head island. Lots of people, beaches, shopping but sometimes I need to unplug and get away
Pinckney Island is perfect. Easy access, parking, and lots of nature You will find a variety topography including saltmarsh, forestland, brushland, and freshwater ponds. these habitats support a diversity of bird and plant life.
Number 2 See some wildlife It is a short hike or bike ride to Ibis Pond. This pond is full of birds, alligators, and other wildlife
Number 3 Go for a relaxing bike ride
The island has miles of wide trails that you can easily ride your bike on. Pack a lunch and have a day of riding your bike in nature. We took our bikes and had a great time exploring this island
Number 4 Go for a hike. The trails are wide, easy to follow and the scenery is beautiful
Number 5 Read a book by the water There are several trails that end at the water. It is peaceful, relaxing and most likely you will be by yourself.
Number 6 Go for a long run If you like to run and maybe you need a different run than Hilton head then Pinckney island is perfect. There are 10 miles of hiking and running trails.
Number 7 Discover someplace new I have been vacationing in Hilton Head for over 10 years and never took the time to stop by Pinckney island. The island is beautiful, relaxing, and free.
If you enjoy a short hike or a bike ride I think you will enjoy this little island.
