Daufuskie Island is one of several South Carolina Sea Islands that have transformed themselves into first-class vacation destinations. In the past, Daufuskie Island, SC was known for its Sea Island cotton, indigo and Daufuskie oysters. But when developers came to the island in the 1980s, Daufuskie Island's future as a private resort and residential area began to take shape. Years later, Daufuskie Island, South Carolina remains a secluded area, accessible only by private boat or ferry from the neighboring Hilton Head Island.

Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa invites guests to spend a peaceful vacation enjoying some of their favorite activities, such as fishing, walking along a white-sand beach or going for a bike ride around the island.
