SEAFOOD / AMERICAN
RED FISH SEAFOOD & WINE by ANTHONY DAVID
Red Fish specializes in cuisine where an eclectic blend of seafood, steaks, fresh local fruit and vegetables are combined to make delectable American, and Lowcountry specialties. A contemporary black-and-white décor ensures that the focus is directed on the food and thanks to its sound-absorbing paneling, Red Fish is a refreshingly quiet restaurant. It’s easy to enjoy a relaxed conversation. Their menu features colorful steak and seafood, which can be prepared “naked” – grilled with olive oil, lime and garlic. Delight in Chilean sea bass with wasabi cream and soy glaze, ribs basted with a guava-orange barbecue sauce, shrimp and grits, or a vegetable strudel baked in a phyllo crust. The restaurant has an extensive wine list that has won Wine Spectator’s “Best of Award of Excellence.” Diners may browse the on-site retail wine shop, which boasts more than 1,000 bottles to choose from. Enjoy the wine with your meals or take a bottle home. Voted Best Wine Selection, Favorite Restaurant for Lunch, Best Burger, and Favorite Caterer by the readers of Hilton Head Monthly. Private dining room for large parties. Live music every Wednesday. Dine indoors or outdoors. Gluten-free items offered as well as a children’s menu. Monday to Saturday. Dinner, 5-9 p.m. 8 Archer Rd.

The Old Oyster Factory was built on the site of an original oyster cannery. From 1925 until 1990’s, 1700 acres of nearby creeks and wetlands were harvested and their yield brought to a one-story concrete building located directly under the restaurant. After canning, the oysters were shipped all over the Lowcountry bearing the appellation of the Broad Creek Oyster Factory. Today, this iconic waterfront dining destination has stunning views of the Lowcountry on Broad Creek.
reviewer said. “Beautiful views along with fantastic, local tasty seafood, and can’t forget about those delicious hush puppies! Great happy hour as well.

Live music can be enjoyed seasonally, just look for music schedule updates on social media.
Voted one of the “Top 100 Scenic View Restaurants’’ and “Top 50 Kid Friendly Restaurants” in America by OpenTable, the Old Oyster Factory specializes in fresh seafood but includes landlubbers’ favorites such as fresh cut filet mignon, ribeye and brick chicken.

NICK’S STEAK & SEAFOOD FRESH LOCAL SEAFOOD | IN-HOUSE BUTCHERING by JEVON DALY
This family-oriented spot has room for more than 150 guests in its various dining rooms and bar area. Great for large parties and kids. The “go to” place for Pittsburgh Steelers’ fans on game day, decorated with the team’s memorabilia collected by owners Josh and Katie who have owned the restaurant for the past 16 years. The parking lot must be entered at 9 Park Lane, behind the building. Listen what a fan said about Nick’s on their Facebook page-
P.S: the key lime pie was delicious too!” The menu at Nick’s Steak & Seafood is reasonably priced with an emphasis on steaks, seafood and barbecue offerings. There is surely something for everyone here. A family friendly atmosphere and an abundance of menu choices including sandwiches, salads, appetizers, soups, burgers, pasta and a children’s menu. They even carry Iron City beer for all ‘yinz’ diehard Pittsburgh peeps. Nick’s also has dining specials every day and complete bar service.
“We have driven past this restaurant for so many years and always thought it was a high end steakhouse. While they do have mouth watering steaks, there are so many other delicious options to choose from. From burgers, pasta dishes, sandwiches and more. My husband had the blackened grouper and said it was the best one he’s had on the island! And that’s saying a lot because we are not really fish people. I had the ribs and they were great!We will definitely being going back and taking guests with us when they come to visit!

ST R EET M E E T THE AMERICAN TAVERN by ANTHONY DAVID
If you’re looking for a home-away-from-home style experience, stop in to Street Meet for lunch, dinner, or late night. Featuring “Sidewalk Sandwiches from America’s Favorite Street Corners™” Street Meet specializes in homemade versions of regional American bar food. They were voted: People’s Choice Awards Best Bar 2015, Island’s Best Hot Dog. It’s the place to go for the best wings, fish & chips, homemade soups, salads, and seafood. They also offer a vegetarian menu, power bowls, a $8 lunch menu, and happy hour & early bird specials. A tasteful selection of American whiskey and Bourbon sits on their liquor shelves and American craftbrews are at the forefront of the beer they serve.
Street Meet also caters. There are daily specials and a full bar. Continuous service from 11:30 a.m. Kitchen open late. Port Royal Plaza (behind McDonalds), North end, Hilton Head Island, 843-842-2570, www.streetmeethhi.com.
As a small business owned and operated by a sister-brother (and his wife) team, Street Meet feels there’s nothing more American than their vision. They take pride in their connection with the veteransassistance foundation, Honor our Heroes, and consistent charitable donations to the community in which we live. Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, owner Carey Basciano welcomes football fans and ex-patriots from Ohio to the home of the Cleveland Brown Backers. The NFL team issued a charter and the certificate hangs behind the bar. And with the help of a Backer Tracker app, fans looking for a great place to watch the Browns play find old and new friends at Street Meet. They expanded into the adjacent space in spring of 2016 and commissioned a colorful graffiti mural by well-known artist Blake Shockley. Street Meet offers live music and fund raising opportunities that give back to the community. Looking to take a bit of Street Meet home with you? Take-out is available and they also offer local and Browns Backer apparel and online ordering.

LUCKY ROOSTER STORIED ISLAND RESTAURANT GIVES YOU MORE TO ENJOY by BARRY KAUFMAN
Across the spectrum of great restaurants that call Hilton Head Island home, Lucky Rooster stands apart from the pack. Gleefully dancing between fine dining and good old fashioned Southern goodness, the guiding philosophy at Lucky Rooster has always been to simply take the comfort food you know and give it a culinary makeover. “It’s still Southern American-inspired food, it’s just prepared in an elevated way that brings out the quality,” said owner David Leffew. “We are focused on providing an amazing dining experience that is both fun and approachable.” Aiding in that approach is executive chef David Landrigan who came to Lucky Rooster from upscale Savannah eatery Circa 1875. A classically trained chef, he’s been carrying on the restaurant’s signature style, adding his own subtle (and enormously delicious) spin on each dish. The result is a restaurant that stands apart, yet never stops reinventing itself. Lucky Rooster offers daily brunch specials along with lunch everyday. Now you don’t have to wait until Sunday to enjoy a Bloody Mary and bottomless mimosas with the famed Buffalo chicken benedict, steak and eggs or traditional French omelet with gruyere. “It’s something not a lot of people are doing on the island,” said Leffew. “It’s going to be a really exciting atmosphere.” Tues.-Sat. 11:30 a.m. -10 p.m., Sun. 10:30 a.m.- 10 p.m. Closed Monday. 841 William Hilton Pkwy Unit A, Hilton Head Island. luckyroosterhhi.com. 843715-3215

HEALTHY HABIT MORE THAN JUST A RESTAURANT by BARRY KAUFMAN
Ask any of the locals who have made Healthy Habit a part of their healthy lifestyle, and they’ll tell you: it’s more than just a restaurant.
Innovation has been a key part of the restaurant’s DNA since the beginning, whether it’s their proprietary app, their line of bottled juices or their self-serve kiosk concept. What’s coming next will combine their flair for innovation with their driving ethos of making healthy eating easy and affordable.
“I’ve always tried to create memorable dining experiences for people,” said founder Nick Bergelt. “Here, it’s just more fulfilling because these little things can be catalysts for people.”
“We had a few core customers for whom we thought it would be interesting to pilot a full, all-inclusive meal plan,” said Bergelt.
These little things mean making the same healthy choices that led Bergelt and his wife Andrea to found Healthy Habit. They saw a culinary landscape that was excellent at giving people choices but didn’t always offer healthy choices. Thus, they envisioned a restaurant concept with a core philosophy of “medicine as food.” It’s a philosophy that had already found adherents during Healthy Habit’s first few years in operation but saw a massive spike in interest this past year.
He hopes the subscription model will be ready to roll out this fall, giving everyone the convenience of meals ready to go that not only taste delicious, but provide the pinnacle of nutrition. It’s part of Bergelt’s long-term plan for the restaurant, one that takes the initial mission to “make high-nutrition foods a convenient and realistic option for everyone” to the next level. Mon.-Sat. 9 a.m.-7 p.m. 33 Office Park Rd Suite 227, Hilton Head Island. healthyhabithhi.com. 843-686-5600
“I don’t know if COVID was catalyst for people rethinking health, but we’re seeing more interest and more research around this notion of plant-based eating,” he said. “The science has now become a tailwind for everything we’re doing at Healthy Habit.” 55

long) and lunch. Always ask about the blue plate special of the day. Wake up with the locals. Most of the wait staff has been at Sunrise Café for many years and know their customers by name.
Known as the Islands’ “go to” breakfast spot, Palmetto Bay Sunrise Café’s menu offers traditional breakfast and lunch items with a Hilton Head twist: eggs benedict (homemade hollandaise sauce), the best smoked salmon bagel, she-crab soup, shrimp and grits with gravy, and crab cakes. There are variations of eggs Benedict, including city ham, crab cake, smoked salmon or shrimp and spinach. Quiches and stratas along with biscuits and gravy, pancakes, French toast and omelets. Specials offered include blueberry cream cheese and country fried steak.
“Definitely a great place for breakfast,” a TripAdvisor review said. “I even took home my leftovers and I don’t think that I’ve ever done that for a breakfast. I was there early (6:30ish) and it was obvious that many customers come frequently and have become friends. Great good, great atmosphere.” Both breakfast and lunch items are available continuously until closing. The cafe specializes in to-go lunches for charter boats, the beach or any other occasion. Due to covid-19, they are temporarily open Wednesday to Sunday 6am – 2pm Palmetto Bay Marina, South end, Hilton Head Island, 843-686-3232, palmettobaysunrisecafe.com.

FRENCH BAKERY SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE by CAROL WEISS
At The French Bakery on Hilton Head Island, freshly baked, house-made, mouth-watering pastries, breads and desserts fill glass cases. Cinnamon rolls, chocolatedipped madeleines and scones disappear in a flash.
With passion in every batch, Marek Belka and the staff are weaving an American touch into a selection of European pastries, desserts, and sandwiches. Serving homemade crepes, freshly-squeezed orange juice, and artisan coffees and drinks, they’re taking “made from scratch” seriously, and serving up breakfasts and lunches that are as irresistible as the island’s beaches.
For the past twenty years, tourists and locals alike have made The French Bakery and Cafe their home. Marek Belka and his son Tomazs work hard to the delight of their customers.

SIGNE’S BAKERY CAFÉ LANDMARK EATERY. ISLAND TREASURE. by EDWARD THOMAS
Located on a side road between Sea Pines Circle and the Cross Island Bridge, Signe’s Heaven Bound Bakery Café is not on Hilton Head Island’s beaten path. But it’s definitely worth discovering. Generations of vacationers and residents swear by it – nearly 50 years of them, in fact. Back in the early days it was a favorite stop for Heritage Classic golfing greats and such tennis superstars as Billie Jean King, Evonne Goolagong, Chris Evert and Tracey Austin. As described by the New York Times: “Signe’s Café is a restaurant with food that is as healthful as the climate and activities on Hilton Head Island.” Unpretentious in nature, this eatery has garnered both local and national celebrity status for its expansive, unconventional menu and fanciful, low-key décor. Signe’s has been featured in Southern Living and Bon Appetit as well as “CBS Sunday Morning” and The Food Network. Delish.com, a global food website, declared: “Signe’s Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie is the best pie in South Carolina.” TV celeb Rachael Ray stopped by and swooned over the deep-dish blueberry French Toast, and grandmothers arrive regularly to share jumbo oatmeal raisin cookies with their granddaughters.
tomato tarts, cheesy fritattas and creamy polenta are magnificent along with the prize recipe key lime pie and pound cake. Signe’s Bakery Cafe is indeed an island treasure.

IL CARPACCIO NORTHERN ITALIAN INSPIRED CUISINE by CAROL WEISS
Dining at Il Carpaccio on Hilton Head Island can feel like stepping into a storied and elegant past, an experience that goes beyond the menu. Starting with the antipasti and continuing through the zuppe, pasta, carne or pesce, each dish here is made from scratch with the freshest available ingredients.
Back in the kitchen, Campos works his magic from antipasti to zuppe, creating myriad pasta options, from fettucine Alfredo to spaghetti pirate with chopped shrimp, clams and mussels, hearty meat and fish dishes including veal, calamari and shrimp, and, of course, countless variations on Il Carpaccio’s savory pizza. Use the warm bread that the attentive wait staff keeps filling in the basket at your table to soak up the delicious sauces. Portions are generous, special accommodations are cheerfully made for allergies.
Specializing in northern Italian-inspired cuisine and pizza cooked in an open, hard-wood burning oven imported from Modena, Italy, this favorite Hilton Head Island restaurant was founded in 2001 by Maurizio Colla and Eddie Campos. Colla was the former maître d’ and Campos the chef at the iconic but now-closed Neno’s Italian restaurant. Colla, who visits many tables personally, relishes describing the offerings to patrons — It’s “like reciting poetry or reading an excerpt from a good book. Service, he says, “is not about delivering plates but providing a culinary experience.”

Made from red pepper, corn, Mexican cream and mole, it’s a feast for the eyes and palate. Regional dishes plus traditional Mexican recipes are the stars of the menu at this vibrant, refined restaurant with a New Mexico look. Santa Fe Café’s rooftop cantina is the eatery’s most popular spot throughout the year. Live entertainment on the rooftop every Tuesday through Saturday.

T ÔR O PERFECT MARRIAGE OF ASIAN AND LATIN FARE by TIM WOOD
Hungry beachgoers are getting treated to an evolved menu of street fare at TÔRŌ on North Forest Beach Drive.
Meat eaters will enjoy the Bulgogi (Korean ribeye, house made kimchi, charred scallions, bean sprouts and gogujang aioli), and, if you’re more surf than turf, ahi tuna takaki (coriander-dusted, Japanese lime-crema, shredded cabbage, pickled local sweet peppers), California tako (charred Spanish octopus, guacamole, cilantro, pickled red onion, yuzu-jalapeno-tomatillo salsa and crispy potato,) and the Poke and nigiri bowls are particularly delightful.
George Casalicchio and his partner and executive chef Eric Golden made a name for themselves on the island for escalating expectations for French cuisine at Chez Georges and now they’re doing the same for the easypeasy, grab-and-go meal. If you look closely at the logo adored on the space formerly occupied by Crave by Daniel’s, you will see everything you need to know about the pair’s Latin-Asian eatery.
And Casalicchio says you must try the Peruvian-Thai ceviche of the day. “It’s local seafood, sweet potato, yellow corn, lemongrasscoconut leche de tigre, avocado, plantain and tortilla chips,” he said. “It’s our brand on a plate.”
“Toro means tuna in Japanese and bull in Spanish, so that’s why you see a tuna inside the belly of the bull,” Casalicchio said. “These tastes, these cultures, they run parallel to each other, blend magnificently. Together, they create the perfect marriage in your mouth.”
Desserts include tres leches, mochi and “Mexican hot” chocolate pot de crème. And the craft cocktail concoctions such as the 1902, True Blue Highball and 843 Berry Bomb, are equally innovative as the main dishes.
You’ll see tacos on the menu, but with plenty of ways to fill them. Why not try a duck confit variation, with charred shishito peppers, daikon radish and cabbage slaw with a yuzu-soju vinaigrette?
TÔRŌ is located at 2 North Forest Drive across from Coligny Plaza on Hilton Head Island. 843-931-8676. torohhi.com. Open seven days a week. 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

CR A N E’S TAV ERN A FAMILY TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE by CAROL WEISS
Crane’s Tavern and Steakhouse on Hilton Head Island has a pedigree that goes back for more than a century. Frank Crane, an immigrant from Ireland, founded Crane’s Tavern in Philadelphia in 1908 and ran it until forced to close during Prohibition.
seafood and pasta dishes, including jumbo lump crab cakes, sashimi-grade tuna steaks, Lowcountry shrimp, lobster tail and more. The extensive selection of wines, both domestic and international, received an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine. With its crisp white tablecloths, oldEnglish bar and rich, warm, heart-of-pine floors, the tavern is known for its cozy, comfortable, casual atmosphere and outstanding service.
After the restaurant reopened in 1933, his sons and a grandson continued to operate the tavern into the 1970s. His son Hank worked at the original tavern until 1969, when he opened a Crane’s Tavern north of Philadelphia, then bought and renamed the Surf City Hotel on Long Beach Island, N.J.
“It is our desire to offer our customers an experience in prime,” say the owners.
In April 1999, Hank and his daughter Beth-Anne Crane, great-granddaughter of the founder, opened the restaurant on Hilton Head. More than two decades later it remains a go-to destination for lovers of steak, seafood and fine wines.
Crane’s has a children’s menu. Dinner served nightly from 5-10 p.m., including a multi-course early-dining menu from 5-5:45 p.m. 26 New Orleans Road. 843-341-2333 for reservations. cranestavern.com

NUNZIO RESTAURANT & BAR INNOVATIVE ITALIAN FARE by CAROL WEISS
Nunzio Restaurant + Bar burst onto the dining scene last year on Hilton Head Island and is the talk of the town. The beautifully renovated space on New Orleans Road is owned by Nunzio Patruno, who currently owns New Jersey restaurant Nunzio Ristorante Rustico, which was reviewed by The New York Times and other media outlets. “Adulation of fresh vegetables and seasonal ingredients may seem cutting-edge, but Nunzio Patruno grew up cooking this new old-fashioned way years ago, and he has the loyal hordes to prove it,” the New York Times article says.
The menu features both traditional and innovative seafood dishes and homemade pasta, as well as lighter fare. Popular main course elections include veal chops, branzino and halibut, exquisitely prepared and beautifully presented. Starter standouts include lobster bisque and diver scallops. The dessert menu features tiramisu, cannolis, cheesecake and other crowd pleasers. The staff answer patrons’ questions knowledgeably, and the wine list represents Italian and Californian selections curated to compliment the menu, at various price points. On pleasant evenings, the outdoor tables are filled with local and visiting diners of every age and nationality, enjoying each other’s company and a delicious meal.
The same could be said of his new restaurant on Hilton Head Island, which embraces the culinary traditions of the Puglia region in Southern Italy, where the Patruno family is from.
Reservations suggested. Happy Hour is from 4-6 p.m. with 20 percent off selected appetizers, cocktails, wines and beer. 18 New Orleans Road, Hilton Head Island. 843-715-2172 or nunziohhi.com. 80

IL CAR PA CC IO NORTHERN ITALIAN INSPIRED CUISINE by CAROL WEISS
Dining at Il Carpaccio on Hilton Head Island can feel like stepping into a storied and elegant past, an experience that goes beyond the menu. Starting with the antipasti and continuing through the zuppe, pasta, carne or pesce, each dish here is made from scratch with the freshest available ingredients.
Back in the kitchen, Campos works his magic from antipasti to zuppe, creating myriad pasta options, from fettucine Alfredo to spaghetti pirate with chopped shrimp, clams and mussels, hearty meat and fish dishes including veal, calamari and shrimp, and, of course, countless variations on Il Carpaccio’s savory pizza.
Specializing in northern Italian-inspired cuisine and pizza cooked in an open, hard-wood burning oven imported from Modena, Italy, this favorite Hilton Head Island restaurant was founded in 2001 by Maurizio Colla and Eddie Campos.
Use the warm bread that the attentive wait staff keeps filling in the basket at your table to soak up the delicious sauces. Portions are generous, special accommodations are cheerfully made for allergies.
Colla was the former maître d’ and Campos the chef at the iconic but now-closed Neno’s Italian restaurant. Colla, who visits many tables personally, relishes describing the offerings to patrons — It’s “like reciting poetry or reading an excerpt from a good book. Service, he says, “is not about delivering plates but providing a culinary experience.”
Serving lunch 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner starting at 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday; closed Sunday. 200A Museum Street, Hilton Head Island. Call 843-3429949 for reservations. ilcarpaccioofhiltonhead.com

STEL L INI JERSEY-STYLE ITALIAN ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND by ANTHONY DAVID
Stellini, the self-proclaimed “Jersey-style” Italian restaurant tucked among the pines off Executive Park Road on Hilton Head Island, has been family owned and operated since Joe Pesce opened Stellini Italian Restaurant in 1989. Since then, his daughter Elise and her husband, Kyle Parlagreco, have built a loyal following among locals and visitors. “Great food, consistency, service and family are the heart and soul of a restaurant,” Elise said. “Kyle, myself or my dad are always on premise, and our executive chef Larry Schneider has been with us for 18 years.” The restaurant’s traditional Italian recipes come from the Pesce and Schneider families. Signature dishes include zuppa di pesce, rigatoni bolognese and pesto tortellini. Other standouts are crabmeat ravioli, mozzarella-stuffed meatballs, lamb shank osso buco, and veal saltimbocca.

CLASSIC FRENCH BISTRO CUISINE by ANTHONY DAVID
Comfort and familiarity are at the root of Chez Georges Bistro & Bar.
accents, including a French onion soup with oxtail. The bouillabaisse has housemade seasoning.
Owner George Casalicchio believes a bistro is essential to the heartbeat of a community, as much as a post office, a library or a bank.
The wine list is predominantly French, Casalicchio says, because French wine is specifically meant for food. “What the French do best is pair wine with food,” he said. “Our wine is meant to drink now and often.”
It’s why his bistro aims to offer a gathering place for families, friends, and neighbors on the South End of Hilton Head Island.
Casalicchio has had an affection for bistros since he was a kid. His father owned a bistro on Long Island in New York and when he was 8 years old his grandparents took him to a restaurant in Paris.
Casalicchio wants a dining experience that celebrates the community. “It doesn’t matter the day or the occasion, it’s a constant,” he said.
“A bistro has always been a huge part of my life,” he said.
Located at the former spot of Casey’s Sports Bar, Chez Georges serves traditional bistro staples such as steak frites and mussels mariniere, incorporating fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Open Monday — Sunday at 4:30pm + Sunday Brunch from 10:30am to 2:00pm. Reservations highly recommended. 37 New Orleans Road, Suite J, Hilton Head Island. 843-785-3200. chezgeorgeshhi.com.

BLUFFTON’S FAVORITE SPOT FOR FRESH AND CLEAN by BARRY KAUFMAN
Often, the first casualty of a vacation is a healthy diet. You may be the type who treats your body as a temple, but you won’t find anything approaching healthy along the highway. For those facing this compromise, there is hope. Just off U.S. 278 in Bluffton, you’ll find Avocado Bleu. The brainchild of chef Teresa Brandow, Avocado Bleu was built on never compromising. Everything you’ll find here, whether it’s one of the many grab-and-go options or the tasty treats on the menu ranging from the famed stuffed avocados to the sprouted bread sandwiches has been created with responsible sourcing in mind. Brandow spent 13 years in upscale country club kitchens, and brings a unique culinary flair to every dish. This has come to the forefront in recent years as Avocado Bleu has expanded to encompass catering, meal prep and special orders. And, crucially for those either making their way to a Hilton Head Island vacation or preparing for the long, fast-food-heavy ride home, it’s all quick and easy to grab and go. “The last thing you want when you get here is to have to stop at a grocery store,” Brandow said. “But we’re just three minutes in and out and you have some really tasty, healthy meals to keep in your hotel room fridge.” Follow Avocado Bleu on Instagram, Facebook and DoorDash.

My burger was cooked and sized perfectly.

Lucky Rooster re-opens with eclectic mix of dishes Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar re-opened in April with a focus on fresh local ingredients and regional favorites. The upscale eatery welcomed the addition of executive chef David Landrigan. Formerly of Circa 1875 and La Scala Ristorante in Savannah, Landrigan is a classically trained chef who has been carrying on the restaurant’s signature style, adding his own subtle (and enormously delicious) spin on each dish. The menu changes throughout the seasons based on ingredients, tides, and the inspiration Chef Landrigan.

TÔRO Asian and Latin fare make for the perfect marriage at TÔRŌ. The new restaurant on North Forest Beach Drive is the brainchild of George Casalicchio and his partner and executive chef Eric Golden. Casalicchio is a Long Islander, and Golden is a San Diego native with a Korean heritage who grew up in a region with a heavy Latino influence. “We come from different backgrounds, but we both love to play in the culinary sandbox and challenge our diners to expand their palettes,” Casalicchio said. TÔRŌ offers tacos and tapas. Meat eaters will be wowed by the Bulgogi (Korean ribeye, house made kimchi, charred scallions, bean sprouts and gogujang aioli).
Clayton Rollison opened Lucky Rooster in 2013 and reached an agreement with Leffew Restaurant Group to keep the tradition moving forward. Hilton Head residents and operating partners David and Carrie Leffew are intent on preserving Lucky Rooster’s passion for food and service.
For more surf than turf, enjoy the ahi tuna takaki (corianderdusted, Japanese lime-crema, shredded cabbage, pickled local sweet peppers). Try the California tako (charred Spanish octopus, guacamole, cilantro, pickled red onion, yuzu-jalapeno-tomatillo salsa and crispy potato) or the Poke and nigiri bowls.
“It’s still Southern American-inspired food, it’s just prepared in an elevated way that brings out the quality,” said David Leffew, who has more than 20 years of hospitality experience.
Casalicchio said you must try the Peruvian-Thai ceviche of the day (local seafood, sweet potato, yellow corn, lemongrass-coconut leche de tigre, avocado, plantain and tortilla chips).
This summer Lucky Rooster plans to expands to include lunch and brunch hours every day they’re open along with dinner.
Desserts include tres leches, mochi and “Mexican hot” chocolate pot de crème.
Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar is open Tues.-Sat. 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m., Sun. 10:30 a.m.- 10 p.m. 841 William Hilton Pkwy Unit A, Hilton Head Island. luckyroosterhhi.com. 843-715-3215.

HAPPY HOUR
COMEDY MAGIC CABARET IS GOOD, CLEAN FUN By Tim Watson Kerry Pollock walks on stage at Comedy Magic Cabaret on Hilton Head Island like he built the place — because he did. Pollock’s passion for both comedy and magic lured him away from his original career as an engineer, one gig at a time. Pollock is gifted at crafting jokes and illusions — and the settings where performers present them. His half-bowl, 88-seat club in the South Island Square shopping center feels like a classic jazz club; there’s not a bad seat in the house. Corporate events, private parties and celebrations of life have taken place in this homey, intimate space. In addition to setting the stage for laughter and amazement on Hilton Head, Pollock has built stages and performance spaces for others in the entertainment industry. Audiences at Comedy Magic Cabaret have grown about 20% since the club opened, as word spread across the Lowcountry and beyond about Pollock’s “Funny Not Filthy” entertainment. Much of the credit for the club’s success belongs to his wife, Kelly, who is a breath of fresh air, tirelessly working the front and back of the house. Many guests become repeat customers — and close friends of the couple. Friends and fans are quick to sing Pollock’s praises. Among them are Rich and Janice Ross, who have also seen him perform at The Magic Castle nightclub in Hollywood. “The other comics told us that no one interacts with an audience better than Kerry,” Rich Ross said. As Hilton Head guests enjoy the show, they can also order food and drinks — Comedy Magic Cabaret serves simple Southern cuisine with a twist: pork and chicken sliders, paninis, and a variety of desserts. Signature cocktails include The Daufuskie Hurricane and Kelly’s Favorite. The menu also includes a wide selection of beer, wine and soft drinks.
120 120
The Pollocks recently upped the magic with a new addition to the club, an intimate “Backstage” Close-Up magic show seating only 12-16 guests for a unique personal experience. They will also be offering the same aboard their 61’ yacht “MAGIC”. An optional upgrade includes a pre-show dolphin cruise with hosts Kerry and Kelly. Comedy Magic Cabaret is located in South Island Square, 843 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head Island. When facing the shopping center, Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar is in the front left corner and Comedy Magic Cabaret is in the back right. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and shows start at 8 p.m.; for just a few extra dollars comedy fans can sit a little closer to the stage to increase their chances of becoming “volunteers” during a performance.

THINGS TO DO

FOR EVERY ONE!
STORY BY HILTON HEAD MONTHLY | PHOTOS BY MADISON ELROD 122
FORKANDFUN.COM
THE LOWCOUNTRY IS FULL OF THINGS TO DO. HERE ARE A FEW FAVORITES. GET OUTSIDE
the Victoria Bluff Heritage Preserve, ideal for bird watching and hiking. Want a little bit of adventure? Why not climb the Harbour Town Lighthouse. Take your time walking up the 114 steps and then enjoy the spectacular view. If you want to get away – but not too far – take a 45-minute ferry ride and explore Daufuskie Island. Steeped in history and drenched in natural beauty, the island has shops, art galleries and great places to eat.
The outdoors allows for plenty of leisure time, so why not hit the beach. On Hilton Head, Coligny Beach is the most trafficked (and has a selection of shops and restaurants within walking distance). Burkes and Driessen are equally beautiful public beach options. The Lowcountry is a great place to enjoy lavish views. Take it all in with horseback riding and biking. The island has 6 miles of bike lanes and 117 miles of shared-use pathways. If you want to get the adrenaline pumping, the area offers pickleball and tennis and some of the most beautiful golf courses in the country. Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge and Sea Pines Forest Preserve are great ways to explore nature and the Lowcountry.
RAINY DAY FUN
Our region prides itself on its natural beauty, but there’s plenty to praise about the great indoors. Leave the sunscreen at home with these ideas that will keep you cool inside. The escape room trend has hit the Lowcountry, with escape experiences that will test your wits as you try to beat the clock. There are several to get lost in for the day. There’s no better way to escape a rainy day than the electric lights of an arcade. Test your luck — and your skill — on the hottest games and collect tickets to trade in for awesome prizes. For a more casual time, visit the Lowcountry’s many art galleries, paint some pottery or get off your feet and see a movie. Hilton Head and Bluffton have a combined four movie theaters.
ON THE WATER
Some of summer’s many aquatic activities require a sense of adventure. Cool off by enjoying kayaking, paddle boarding, learn to surf or rent a Jet Ski. You can rent one at dozens of places around the Lowcountry. It’s an exhilarating way to take to the waves. Have some fun with a banana boat ride. This inflatable craft can hold up to six people, with some models offering a side-by-side ride for the whole family. Para-sailing has you aloft from a sail — which is tethered to a speedboat speeding along the water — where you can take in a bird’s-eye view of the island scenery. Looking to let others do the work? We recommend a dolphin- or sunset-cruise.
FOR THE KIDS
For younger kids, not much beats an outing to The Sandbox Interactive Children’s Museum on the island. It’s home to a wonderland of activities for young kids, from interactive playsets to building tools and arts and crafts. Families enjoy a big show and one of the biggest is fireworks. The Lowcountry is a prime spot for some of the best displays in the region. Harbourfest at Shelter Cove Harbour and Marina is an annual summer event with fireworks and entertainment (featuring entertainer Shannon Tanner and Cappy the Clown). Plans are tentatively set for this summer. Check online for the latest updates.
FOR THE FAMILY
The summer is the perfect time to enjoy family. There’s not much better than a little competitive family bonding via miniature golf. Our area has several courses. Walk together with nature at the Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head Island, which has 68 acres of nature trails open for walks and picnics. The island’s Audubon Newhall Preserve has 50 acres of plants and nature trails. In Bluffton, check out 123

FOR THE ADULTS
Adults can be adventurous too. Take ax throwing. Yes, it’s a thing. Enjoy a little friendly, but safe, competition. For something less taxing, visit our farmers’ markets at the Farmers Market of Bluffton and the Hilton Head Island Farmers Market. The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina on the island offers diverse attractions, including musical performances and educational field trips. Need a laugh? See a comedy show at one of our comedy and improv clubs. Live music always livens up the summer and the area is full of venues lined up with premier performers.

attraction LOWCOUNTRY CELEBRATION PARK A HILTON HEAD MUST-SEE
BY CARRIE HIRSCH | PHOTOS BY MATT GARBADE STORY AND PHOTOS COURTESY OF HILTON HEAD MONTHLY
Located on the south side of Pope Avenue between Circle Center Shopping Center and Coligny Beach parking lot, Lowcountry Celebration Park is a soughtafter attraction. The park includes a sprawling lawn, a small pavilion on a lake, a stage for events, walking trails, exercise stations, boardwalks and The Sandbox Children’s Museum. It features a large reimagined Adventure Playground Ship, complete with mist cannons, named for the vessel captained by explorer William Hilton who discovered the island in 1663. “The design of Lowcountry Celebration Park is a careful orchestration to address a number of community issues and needs in an effort to encourage reinvestment in the Coligny area,” said Town of Hilton Head Island project manager and urban designer Chris Darnell, PLA. Darnell said the park’s lagoon is part of a stormwater drainage project that will reduce flooding upstream in and around Coligny Circle and Pope Avenue as well as downstream on Tanglewood Drive and Cordillo Parkway. The parking spaces are pervious, which reduces stormwater runoff and, along with the planted wetland shelves in the lagoon, improves water quality, Darnell said. 126
FORKANDFUN.COM
The interactive water feature is an interpretation of the tides on the beach and in the marsh. Parents will find shaded seating options, Wi-Fi access throughout the park and charging stations for smart devices in the playground, he said. “The Pavilion puts a new twist on Lowcountry architecture and is designed to host shows and concerts. Evening attractions include the unlighted “Setting Sun” sculpture and a fountain,” Darnell said. Eugene Bell, AIA, LEED AP BD+C of the architectural firm Watson Tate Savory, said the buildings have their own unique character. “While the buildings share a common materiality, each of them is conceived and executed in a different manner, giving each individual building its own character while simultaneously linking them all architecturally,” Bell said. “Rendered in weathered gray wood, Savannah gray brick and tabby stucco, their design is tied deeply to the aesthetic and character of the Town of Hilton Head.” Bell said Watson Tate Savory worked with Kyle Theodore (project lead) and her team at Wood + Partners. The Sandbox, a non-profit interactive children’s museum, is also an integral part of the new park. The new building has a dedicated outdoor exhibit space, an art studio, and a separate program room, according to Nancy Fish, executive director of The Sandbox. Fish said in addition to upgrading current exhibits, The Sandbox has new exhibits that “reflect the culture of the Lowcountry.” Said Darnell: “The town is excited to have The Sandbox Museum as a partner to complement the play and discovery themes of the playground.” Lowcountry Celebration Park will likely attract locals and visitors year-round, which will benefit businesses. “We could not be more excited about the opening of Lowcountry Celebration Park. We are a family community, and this will bring so many fun options to locals as well as our visitors,” says Erika Waronsky, owner of The Sandbar Beach Eats and Carolina Coffee & Crumbs in Coligny Plaza.

beaches of
Sands. Surfing. Swimming. Sunning. Shores. Sailing. Sanctuary. Whatever your vision of the “beach life” may entail, the sun-splashed beaches of Hilton Head Island offer as many experiences as there are shells on their sandy shores. From its heel to its toe, here’s an overview of some of the island’s popular beaches and hidden gems.
Hilton Head Island
10 9
7 6 1

128

8
Coligny Beach Park
1. SOUTH BEACH
Best For: Unique water sports opportunities (kayaking, sport fishing, parasailing, etc.), sightseeing and walking. Located in Sea Pines at the “toe” of the island near the South Beach Marina. Calibogue Beach is relatively quiet, nearly secluded, and is great for just watching the dolphins or a relaxing walk. If you are not a Sea Pines resident or registered guest, you must pay $8 per vehicle to enter the resort. Access: Near Sea Pines South Beach Marina, best accessed by bike or foot. $8 per vehicle to enter the resort.
2. SOUTH FOREST BEACH
Best For: Swimming, fishing, biking and walking. Part of Hilton Head’s “Ocean Community,” South Forest Beach is on a one-mile stretch of beachfront between the Coligny Circle and Sea Pines Plantation gate. It is the largest of the island’s public beaches, and draws more crowds than North Forest Beach. Wide, comfortable and spacious, and buffered somewhat from nearby development, it’s a great all-purpose spot. Venture a little further away from the public access point that divides the north and south beaches, and you’ll find even more room to spread out. Access: Public access on Alder Lane and Seaside Villas, off South Forest Beach Road.
3. COLIGNY BEACH
Best For: Everybody. Perfect for sunbathing, swimming, biking, an early-morning jog or a romantic date night. At Hilton Head’s busiest beach you’ll find soft sand and wonderful clean water. Even better, it’s close to the island’s unofficial downtown area. The beach is protected by security cameras and visitors can enjoy free WiFi, volleyball nets, scores of beach rentals and free parking — park at the beach parking, not Coligny Plaza. The beach and the shopping plaza do get a little crowded, but if you like an active and lively beach experience, this is your spot. Access: At Coligny Circle, at the intersection of Pope Avenue and South Forest Beach Drive.
4. NORTH FOREST BEACH
Best For: Swimming, walking and surfing Located near over 100 dining and shopping options in one of the island’s oldest neighborhoods. For surfers, the beach area at Jacana Street is known to offer some of the best waves at high tide on the island. Locals swear by the shoreline as the best on Hilton Head, and the quaint mix of older beach cottages with modern ocean compounds makes for a compelling community feel. Access: The one-mile stretch of beach starts at Coligny Circle and runs north to the Sonesta Resort located in Shipyard Plantation.
5. BURKES BEACH
Best For: Surfing, boarding, walking and pets. Located to the northern side of Chaplin Community Park, Burke’s Beach is adjacent to Singleton Beach, divided by the natural folly field. The beach offers seasonal lifeguards and limited parking, but boasts some of the best waves for surfing and boarding. The dog park at Chaplin Park is a nice touch and makes it a great destination for a bark-and-beach day with man’s best friend. Access: Just south of Palmetto Dunes at the end of Burkes Beach Road.
6. DRIESSEN BEACH
Best For: Day trips, swimming, sunning, locals and in-the-know. A long boardwalk connects the maritime forest to the white-sand beach. A long, wide shoreline leaves ample room to spread out, and the flat ocean floor and small waves make it kid-friendly and great for body boarding or just wading. Tucked in a heavily shaded and wooded area, it’s a bit hard to find, but with tons of amenities like parking and restrooms. Access: Off William Hilton Parkway, at the end of Bradley Beach Road.
7. FOLLY FIELD BEACH
Best for: Surfers, walking and biking. A bit off the beaten path from the plantations and resorts, Folly Field
129
has more of a locals’ beach feel. With a shorter walk to the beach than nearby Driessen Beach, it is both convenient and quiet. Take a long walk and grab a pit stop and a drink at the outdoor bar at the nearby The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa. Access: Located on Starfish Road, a right turn off Folly Field Road.
8. ISLANDER’S BEACH
Best for: Locals and swimming. A favorite of locals, Islander’s Beach recently earned a high ranking in Coastal Living magazine’s Top 21 Beaches on the East Coast. It’s less crowded than most Hilton Head spots and swimmer-friendly, thanks to its gentle underwater slope. Parking is at a premium and is mostly reserved for residents and year-round pass holders. Access: Located at 94 Folly Field Road, at Sparkleberry Ln.
9. FISH HAUL CREEK BEACH PARK
Best For: Privacy, fishing, walking. Many locals consider this beach Hilton Head’s best-kept secret. Adjacent to Barker’s Field, this beach park (formerly Mitchelville Beach Park) was recently renamed. It’s not for swimming, but is great for beachcombing, hunting for sharks’ teeth and digging for clams. Access: Near the end of Beach City Road, on Mitchelville Road.
10. HISTORIC MITCHELVILLE FREEDOM PARK
Best for: Walking, birdwatching, clamming & fishing.The public beach access at this historic site is located on the “heel” of the island. It boasts 31 acres of mostly untouched nature, feels like your own private beach and is arguably the scene for the best bird watching in all of Hilton Head. The beach itself is a generous walk from the park. Access: Near the end of Beach City Road.
Lights out for
Sea Turtles
RULES AND REGULATIONS HELP KEEP THE TURTLES SAFE
Sea turtle season is the time when sea turtles come ashore to nest and lay their eggs on the island’s beaches. Loggerheads nest at night to avoid predators and overheating in the summer sun, selecting a site above the high tide line. Loggerheads are listed as a threatened species by the federal government and the state of South Carolina.
SAFETY RULES
To keep sea turtles safe, here are a few guidelines from the town of Hilton Head and Amber Kuehn of Sea Turtle Patrol HHI: • If your building is visible from the beach, turn off your outside lights at 10 p.m. (until 6 a.m.) from May 1 to Oct. 31, the nesting and hatching season for Loggerheads. • If any of your interior lights are visible from the beach or cast light on the beach, close blinds or drapes at 10 p.m. or turn them off. • Never leave beach umbrellas, chairs, or any other beach accessories on the beach overnight. Nesting female turtles may get tangled in them, and for hatchlings they are often impassable and disorienting. • Marked nests should always be undisturbed. Leave only your footprints on the beach. At the end of the day, sandcastles should be flattened, all holes filled and trash removed. • If you encounter a nesting turtle, do not shine any lights or use flash photography. Stay behind the turtle so that she cannot see you. Observe from a distance. • Never harass a turtle. • Use red flashlights instead of white.
The town of Hilton Head’s Beach Ordinance prohibits:
• Shovels, except those that are made of wood and/or plastic and that are less than 30 inches in length and 6 inches in width. • Digging holes in the sand that are more than 12 inches in depth. • Leaving personal belongings on the beach overnight. • The ordinance requires that all holes be filled so that the sand is returned to its original state before you leave the beach for the day. Holes can be death traps for sea turtle hatchlings and hazards for beach goers, especially after dark. • Place all trash and recyclables in the appropriate receptacles. • Never disturb a sea turtle nest, a nesting sea turtle or a hatchling.

PLENTY OF OPTIONS TO ENJOY A DAY ON THE WATER BY JOHANNA JACKSON
Fishing is a year-round activity on Hilton Head Island. For those that want to keep their feet on the land, lagoon and surf fishing are popular choices. For those looking for a bit more adventure, inshore and offshore fishing may be the ticket. LAGOON FISHING Most of the lagoons on Hilton Head are brackish, meaning they are both fresh and salt water. Don’t let the calm waters fool you; fish can grow to enormous sizes (red drum can weigh more than 50 pounds). Other fish caught in the lagoons include tarpon, striped bass, black drum and the occasional blue fish. Live bait such as shrimp and finger mullet are your best bets, but they are usually hard to come by unless you catch your own or are fishing off of a private charter boat. Spinning and top water lures fished with a lightweight spin rod are another popular option. Photo by Rob Kaufman

Best sandwiches on the Island...period!
SURF FISHING There are a lot of junk fish (skates, rays, small sharks) in the Carolina surf, which can be thrilling to catch, but frustrating for those in pursuit of game fish. Red drum, kingfish, and flounder are some of the more prized fish that can be caught. Squid strips, minnows and bunker chunks are the most common types of bait used in the surf. They can be purchased at any tackle shop along with 2- to 3-ounce sinkers to combat the rough water. Don’t feel like you have to cast halfway to the horizon to catch fish, some of the biggest can be taken right out of the breaking waves. The best times to surf fish are early mornings and evenings, when the beach crowds have subsided and the fish are most active.
PROUDLY SERVING
INSHORE & OFFSHORE FISHING If you are feeling particularly adventurous, and willing to spend a majority of the day surrounded by water, inshore and offshore fishing can provide some real thrills. Party boats accommodate large numbers of passengers, but private charters are also available (usually for groups less than 6). Half and full day trips are typical. These trips generally target fish that are specific to the season, and can include marlin, tuna and cobia. Most offer specialized shark fishing trips all year. Your vessel may travel many miles out to sea, or stick to the inshore waterways.

FISHING IS A YEAR-ROUND ACTIVITY ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND LICENSES AND REGULATIONS Fishing Hilton Head Island South Carolina law requires that all anglers over the age of 16 have a state fishing license to fish from the surf or water banks. A 14 day license is $5 for residents and $11 for non-residents. Commercial fishing boats provide all their passengers with licenses. Private plantations and resorts usually restrict fishing to owners and guests, and each is subject to its own set of rules.

BY BARRY KAUFMAN
There are few things more rewarding then saddling up on your bike, pointing your tire down a new pathway, and letting exploration unfold all around you. And there are few better places to enjoy a blissful bike ride than Hilton Head Island. It’s not just in the gentle climate or the pathways that wind in and out of dense forests, beach parks and tranquil lagoon areas, it’s in the dedication that Hilton Head Island has demonstrated in creating the ultimate cycling experience. Just look at the numbers when it comes to our pathways: We enjoy 6 miles of bike lanes, 117 miles of shared-use pathways, 108 miles of paved shared-use paths, 14 miles of planned pathways and one mile of single track. All told, 24 percent of our arterial streets have bike lanes or paved shoulders. And the community has embraced the role these pathways play, with the Town of Hilton Head Island offering a help line so riders can report unsafe conditions and the Hilton Head Island Rotary Club dotting them with signage highlighting interesting facts about the community. And the places these paths can take you simply dazzle. While the many private communities around the island are closed to public cycling, the arteries of our path system lead to many of our island’s most dazzling spaces.

BIKING
When riding on the north end, be sure to cycle over to Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park on Beach City Road, where you can pedal right up to a stunning observation boardwalk and bask in views of Port Royal Sound in a place whose history stretches back thousands of years. There is another observation deck not far off, at Mitchelville Road’s Barker Field. Here you can enjoy a panorama of water views where the Sound meets the Atlantic. Our bike paths can also guide you on a trip through time, as they stretch along some of our awe-inspiring historical treasures. At the corner of Matthews and U.S. 278, you can park your bike at the Zion Chapel of Ease Cemetery, where some of the island’s earliest families are interred. This spot has played a key role in the island’s history dating back to the War for Independence, and the Heritage Library has taken the utmost care in preserving this space and making it a fascinating spot to take in history. But to really turn back the hands of time, you can bike over to Greens Shell Community Park, right off of the bike path. Here, an elevated platform takes you

out over an archaeological wonder: a four-foot tall, 30-foot wide shell ring enclosure dating back to 1335 A.D. But Hilton Head Island’s pathways aren’t just for those seeing a relaxing pace as they tour the island’s sights and attractions. Serious cyclists are taking notice of the island’s pathways, as evidence by our role as host for the Southeast Biking Symposium and the popularity of our Pedal Hilton Head event. If you’re up for the challenge, you can retrace the Metric Century Route from Pedal Hilton Head, which takes you up and over our island’s three bridges. Think you can’t get a change in elevation in the Southeast? Try climbing up the Cross Island Bridge. These pathways, and the community support behind them, are part of why our island was granted Gold Level Status by the League of American Bicyclists as a Bike Friendly Town. Our pathways run in and out of our many natural outdoor wonders, taking you from the bridges to the beach, crossing underneath U.S. 278 at Shelter Cove, and allowing full freedom of movement from point A to point B in a fun, ecofriendly way. And the best part? Visitors don’t even need to worry about bringing their own bike. Some 20,000 bikes are rented each year from the multitude of bike shops all over the island. From beach cruisers to more serious cycles, you’re going to find your ideal ride for taking in our famed and awardwinning pathways system.

MOST SCENIC RIDES
Go further and still have the energy for more miles! There is nothing more fun than electric.
The boardwalk at Barker Field overlooking the marsh is simply amazing. If you’re on the south end, visit the “toe” of the island on the beach looking at the entrance to South Beach Marina. You’ll see Harbour Town in the distance, Daufuskie Island dead ahead and the Atlantic to the left.
BEST NATURE TRAIL
The rice dike trail in Sea Pines to the horse stables and into the Sea Pines Forest Preserve is incredibly rich in natural beauty, and it’s often almost empty.
BEST BEACH TO CYCLE
Start at Palmetto Dunes, hit the beach and travel south to the tip of the island at South Beach — preferably with the wind at your back. Assuming cooperation from the tides and tourists, this is as good as it gets.
Hourly, Daily and Weekly Rentals Available
BEST PICNIC SPOT
Jarvis Park, Chaplin Park and Coligny are great spots to picnic — as is, you know, the beach.

BEST FAMILY RIDE
Start at Coligny Circle and take the pathway west along Pope Avenue to New Orleans Road. Then turn right along the pathway and follow Arrow Road across the William Hilton Parkway to the Palmetto Bay Marina and back; you’ll stay off the main drags and discover a lengthy hidden ribbon of trail behind the shops and restaurants. For an alternate route, turn onto the William Hilton Parkway from New Orleans Road, follow the pathways to the Shelter Cove Marina and back.

Daufuskie GET AWAY FOR A DAY ACROSS THE WATER BY JUSTIN JARRETT | PHOTOS COURTESY OF HAIG POINT
Just a couple miles across Calibogue Sound from Harbour Town lies Daufuskie Island, a small, largely undeveloped barrier island begging to be explored.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can rent a golf cart or bike — or bring your own bike on the ferry — and explore more of the island. And there’s plenty to explore along Daufuskie’s dirt roads.
A 45-minute ferry ride up the Intracoastal Waterway whisks visitors back in time when, depositing them on Daufuskie — accessible only by boat — and a world away from from the trappings of modern-day life.
A number of unique galleries dot the island. Most notable among them is the Iron Fish Gallery, where Daufuskie Island resident Chase Allen — who has sold more than $1 million worth of art — produces metalworks in an open-air studio and accepts payments on the honor system when he isn’t present at the gallery. Another must-see for art lovers is Daufuskie Blues — located in the famed Mary Fields School, where author Pat Conroy taught in the 1960s — where organic indigo harvested on the island is used to create stunning and unique fashions.
Daufuskie, steeped in history and drenched in natural beauty, is divided into two distinct worlds — the private Haig Point community, where cars are prohibited and residents access top-notch amenities by golf cart or bicycle, and the rest of the island, virtually undisturbed for decades. Native American artifacts are frequently unearthed on the island’s beaches, including arrowheads and pieces of centuries-old pottery.
The school is also home to School Grounds Coffee, but those looking for something a little stronger won’t leave the island disappointed. Stop by Silver Dew Winery for a tasting and check out the museum inside the old Bloody Point Lighthouse, or slip over to Daufuskie Island Rum Company, where its locally distilled spirits have been served to visitors from every U.S. state and 64 countries. The distillery is located next to a quaint pond, where visitors sometimes enjoy a picnic lunch.
Haig Point is mostly for members only, but the club does rent rooms in the historic Strachan Mansion and the Haig Point Lighthouse (rumored to be “eternally occupied” by Maggie, the former keeper’s daughter). Visitors have two other options if they want a look behind the gates: Booking a horseback ride via Daufuskie Island Trail Rides, one of the few places in the country where you can still ride horses on the beach, or snatching up one of the limited number of public tee times available on the club’s renowned Rees Jones signature golf course.
If you’re not the do-it-yourself type, you can book one of a number of tours, including one led by Daufuskie native Sallie Ann Robinson, who was Conroy’s star pupil in “The Water Is Wide.”
If private clubs aren’t your speed, fear not. The rest of Daufuskie is another world entirely. On weekends during the summer, Freeport is the place to be: It’s where visitors hop off the ferry and gather to eat and drink at the Old Daufuskie Crab Company, dance the day away to live music, play cornhole, and hit the public beach that looks across Calibogue Sound toward Hilton Head. The area near the marina is something of a town center, with a general store, a few cottages for rent, and a handful of shops.
After a day on Daufuskie, you’ll either be left yearning for more or convinced you never need to go back. Life on Daufuskie isn’t for everyone, and its full-time residents have a saying: “We’re all here because we’re not all there.”
