Across the waters from Hilton Head Island and Bluffton is an island paradise called Daufuskie Island. Daufuskie is a remote island and only accessible by boat and comprises about 5000 acres of lush semitropical landscape. In recent years part of the island has been developed into resorts. Several Hilton Head marinas offer scheduled tours to the island. The beach is beautiful and, so far, relatively unpopulated.

There are three championship courses on this serene island, designed by three of the biggest names in the business. Jack Nicklaus produced the Melrose course; Tom Weiskopf and partner Jay Morrish designed Bloody Point. Both are accessible to the golfing public as part of the Daufuskie Island Resort.
