Golf is certainly the "best" thing to do on Daufuskie Island. But since I'm not a golfer, I went to the beach and the pool. The sand on the beach is very soft and bleached. The resort has two pools, both are good sized. One is heated, the other is not.

Quick Tips:

The only way onto the island is by ferry. Plan at least four hours for a round trip excursion from Hilton Head to Daufuskie Island or vice versa.

Best Way To Get Around:

The best way to get around is by golf cart.
The guesthouses were absolutely gorgeous! They have two bedrooms, each with a king size bed. There is a fully equipped kitchen, table and chairs for six, and a living area with plenty of seating and a large TV. The decor is lovely with beachy colors and themes.

The water was still chilly (early April), but the sun was warm and soothing. The beach is soft and warm, but with many broken shells. Don't go barefoot!

My sister was married recently on Daufuskie Island, SC. The island is off the SC coast south of Hilton Head. The only way to get on the island is by ferry and the only transportation on the resort is by golf cart. While these presented some inconveniences, it was shortly forgotten once the beauty of the island was revealed.

The ceremony was held in front of the gazebo overlooking the ocean. The walkway from the hotel to the gazebo served as the aisle. The setting was magnificent with the trees and flowers in full bloom. The sun was shining and there was a light breeze. The only sounds on Daufuskie Island are the sounds of nature.
