The 42-mile barrier island, which is located less than 20 minutes from the city of Savannah, is home to 12 miles of beautiful pristine beachfront, which are populated by lovely boardwalks and family-friendly attractions like miniature golf courses, boutiques, and delicious dining options. 33 world-class championship golf courses have given the island a reputation as a top international golfing destination.
Visitors can explore cultural attractions such as the Harbour Town Lighthouse and Museum and the Coastal Discovery Museum or attend performances by arts organizations such as the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina.
