Fripp Island's attractions
Ocean Point Golf Links
Tee off on the green at one of South Carolina's championship golf courses. Small greens require skilled iron swings, while the ergonomic design of the course shelters you from pesky coastal breezes that might influence your game.
Ocean Creek
Right across the way from Barefoot Landing shopping and entertainment complex, you'll find Ocean Creek Resort. 57 acres of stunning grounds let you bike and walk to you heart's content. You can even enjoy a game of tennis, beach volleyball or take the kids putting on the green. Retire to your vacation rental or enjoy a little fine dining at superb restaurants while you watch the sun dip below the horizon.
Fripp Island Marina
Fripp's Marina puts it firmly on the South Carolina map. The Marina Store is a treasure trove for fishermen, offering every conceivable kind of tackle and accoutrement. Fishing Tournaments in the marina are some of the most popular local events, to which the community and visitors flock.
Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort
There's so much going on at this idyllic beachside resort. Take a golf lesson or play a round on the par 71 golf course. Head to the Activity and Nature Center and watch naturalists tend to the native turtles that inhabit the island. Go birding or crabbing, and so much more.
Hunting Island Lighthouse
This striking monochrome lighthouse towers over the coast, illuminating its rocks and guiding mariners with its glow. The original was built in 1853, but was blown up by retreating confederate forces in 1861 to hinder the oncoming Union fleet. It's the only lighthouse in South Carolina that the public can climb.
