Located at the end of Beach Road.

Top Tips for Island Travel
1. Pack sparingly – The island lifestyle is VERY casual. The dress of the island is casual – bring comfortable stuff for relaxing.
2. If you are staying for a few nights, consider buying your groceries on your way to the boat or use a grocery shopping service to deliver your groceries to the dock in time for your arrival. There are not a lot of breakfast options on Daufuskie Island, so plan for that.
3. Bring a camera, a pair of tennis shoes or flip flops – and maybe a bicycle, binoculars and/or a good book.
