| [G&G] Along the South Carolina coast, few destinations embody Lowcountry idyll quite as thoroughly as Bluffton. Just outside Hilton Head Island and Daufuskie Island, this small, authentic community on the May River has the feel of a Southern daydream: ancient live oaks drip with Spanish moss, spartina grass borders quiet marshlands, and wide, wrap-around porches hug rows of historic homes. Dating back to 1852, Bluffton has a rich history, evident in the eighty-plus sites that make up the Old Town Bluffton Historic District, where architectural styles from coastal to gothic are on display. Combine the setting’s unique character and beautiful surroundings with an array of buzzing shops, restaurants, and events, and you have the makings of one worthy destination. |
