Photograph by David Coleman. Daufuskie Island, located between Hilton Head Island and Savannah, is part of Beaufort County, South Carolina. This small, bridgeless island is accessible only by boat, contributing to its secluded and exclusive atmosphere. The island, approximately 5 miles long and miles wide, is known for its pristine beaches, rich Gullah heritage, and natural beauty. The beach in front of the resort likely features soft, white sand characteristic of South Carolina's coast, bordered by native vegetation such as sea oats and palmettos. Daufuskie Island has several upscale communities and resorts, including Haig Point and Melrose Resort, which offer amenities such as golf courses, equestrian facilities, and private beaches. The island's limited development and commitment to preservation mean that its beaches remain relatively untouched, providing a peaceful environment for wildlife and visitors alike. Daufuskie is part of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, reflecting its significant African American history and cultural heritage.
