Located between Mt. Pleasant and Isle of Palms on the Intracoastal Waterway, Goat Island  is one of the smallest islands in this region of South Carolina. The island got its name thanks to the goats that local celebrity Bubba Love and his friends bring to the island and let lose. There are some peacocks there now as well. Watching goats from the Marsh Walk, a boardwalk overlooking the marsh, is a popular tourist pastime. The island was once home to a reclusive couple, Blanche and Henry Holloway, who lived here to escape civilization. Many years later, the island still has the same vibe – a sanctuary for those seeking peace and tranquility. Mostly marshland, the island offers very rustic amenities and is accessible only by boat.
