This ‘secluded oasis’ in Beaufort County is called the best place in SC to get married

It’s only accessible by ferry, and that’s part of the reason travel website Orbitz says Haig Point on Daufuskie Island is the best place in South Carolina to get married.

“Imagine saying ‘I do’ on an isolated island, surrounded by the sounds of nature and majestic wildlife, nestled among moss-draped oaks without the sound of a single car in the distance,” the Orbitz website says.

The listing doesn’t actually mention Daufuskie Island, instead opting for the more widely known “near Hilton Head.”

Haig Point, a private community on northeast Daufuskie, has been featured on HGTV, and in various publications.

The Wall Street Journal last summer reported that Daufuskie is a place where “eagles fly overhead, and dolphins arch from the water as if on cue.”

Earlier this month, Bravo listed Daufuskie among its “9 Secret U.S. Islands You’ve Never Heard Of — But You Should Visit.”

Want a sneak peak at the place Orbitz calls a “truly peaceful, secluded oasis?” The community offers a virtual tour.

Go to Haig Point’s website (https://haigpoint.com/360), and move your mouse to the right or left to see a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the community.

You can watch a video about the Haig Point Ferry, flip through photos of the Strachan Mansion, take a walk along wood-lined paths, through the Tabby Ruins and over to the historic 1837 lighthouse. Once you’ve had enough of those areas, “fly to” the Calibogue Club & Beach Club, Private Beach or the Clubhouse & Tennis Center.
