Daufuskie Island is a tiny island paradise with a year-round population of approximately 400 people. The casual seaside community is located on an island that’s only reachable by way of boat. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go. Getting there is half the adventure!
Hop a ferry to this secluded island any day of the week and then rent a bike or a golf cart to get around.

The flavorful items on the menu keep folks coming back again and again. It features crab cakes, stuffed crabs, fried shrimp and more — and sides like freshly made collard greens and coleslaw.

But, unless it’s raining or cold, you’ll probably want to sit outside under the oak trees.

Spread out, get comfy and then chow down on shrimp so fresh you’ll swear it’s still swimming.

If you think a restaurant located along the coast – and one that you can only get to by way of boat – serves up some FRESH seafood, then you’re right. This South Carolina restaurant is unique and the food is delicious!
