Review:
Separated from the mainland by the Beaufort River and a handful of tiny creeks, the spacious St. Helena Island offers an authentic taste of rural South Carolinian culture.
Fishing and shrimping are still two of the biggest industries on the island, and freshly-caught seafood will likely find its way to your plate whether you stop at a local fish shack or make a reservation at one of the upscale restaurants in downtown Frogmore.
While you're on the island, don't miss the opportunity to visit the Penn Center, one of the country's first schools for freed slaves.
