Why We Love Daufuskie: Unplugged. Undiscovered. Unforgettable.
There’s something about Daufuskie Island that gets into your bones.
Maybe it’s the way the Spanish moss sways over the dusty roads, or how the waves hit the empty beaches with a rhythm all their own. Maybe it’s the stories—the Gullah-Geechee heritage, the old schoolhouse, the sense that time moves differently here. Whatever it is, we fell in love with Daufuskie, and we love sharing it with others.
A Place That Feels Like a Secret
Daufuskie is unlike anywhere else along the coast. Accessible only by boat, it’s peaceful, raw, and beautifully unpolished. There are no bridges, no traffic lights, and no rush. Just the sound of birdsong, wind in the palms, and the occasional golf cart humming past.
We’ve been exploring this island for years—walking its beaches, visiting with artisans, learning its stories, and connecting with the community. It’s become part of our story at Low Country Drifters, and now it’s part of what we offer to you.
