Fripp Island/Harbor Island, South Carolina

Fripp Island, a lovely and serene resort area, is located near the southern tip of South Carolina, midway between Charleston and Savannah, Georgia.

To the east of the City of Beaufort are the islands of Lady's, Coosaw, Judge, Cat, Cane, Gibbs, St. Helena, Dataw, Distant, Harbor, Hunting and Fripp. These are a mixture of residential and resort areas, with Harbor, Dataw and Fripp being gated communities made up of residential property and resort rentals, some of which are situated along world-class golf courses.

The Sea Islands include more than 60 small islands, with the primary inhabited ones connected by bridge and a few reachable only by boat. The unmatched scenic beauty is colored by views of glistening daily sunrises and sunsets unlike anywhere else in the world. Add the palmetto trees and live oaks draped with Spanish moss, the year-round blooms of hibiscus flowers, hundreds of varieties of coastal birds and the easy-going pace of life in the slow lane, and you'll recognize the attraction which lures thousands of tourists, retirees and relocating families.
