Area Attractions

Aside from the many activities available on Fripp Island, the surrounding Beaufort area provides many additional attractions. Beaufort?s National Historic Landmark District, in the second oldest city in South Carolina, delights its visitors with its breathtakingly beautiful natural vistas and impressive architecture from the Colonial and Antebellum Eras. Beaufort remains the Queen of the South Carolina Sea Islands in its charm, natural beauty, fascinating history, and rich and diverse cultural heritage.

Other area attractions include the lighthouse, pier, and beaches of Hunting Island State Park. Located between Fripp Island and Harbor Island on US 21, this popular park is a large secluded barrier island with a historic 1859 lighthouse as its centerpiece and a semi-tropical abundance of plants and wildlife. The Hunting Island Light is the island's third lighthouse and is open to the public.

History is an area attraction, as omni-present as the Spanish moss draped over the limbs of the live oaks. The Penn Center, Parris Island Museum, and Beaufort Museum are but a few of the places for a visitor to begin. Between the natural beauty of the Fripp Island Lowcountry setting and all the first class amenities offered by the Fripp Island Club, you can enjoy many exciting activities without ever leaving the island.
