Beach
If you are staying on Daufuskie Island outside of Haig Point we would recommend the Melrose Beach, however Daufuskie offers 3 miles of pristine sand beaches, all of which are open to the public! You may lounge in the sand & sun all day, or perhaps take a walk down to Bloody Point, a historic battleground between Native Americans and English settlers. Bloody Point is also the local fishing hole of Daufuskie, for those of you who may want to test your luck. Dolphins, Pelicans, and Osprey are a common sight for beach-goers, as well as a wide variety of shells. Loggerhead turtles use these beaches for nesting, so be mindful by only using red flashlights at night from the months of May-October and never driving your golf cart on the beach. If you are staying in Haig Point, beach access to the Atlantic Ocean is located between the 14th green and 15th tee box over a small walking bridge. Please be aware of golfers playing the 15th hole when you access the cart path.
