Top 7 Ferries in Coastal South Carolina, Coastal South Carolina

November 5, 2021 Terina Blouin

Miles of white sand and romantic island resorts beckon from the hem of the Palmetto State. Families gravitate to Myrtle Beach and the 60-mile span of Grand Strand, where over 100 championship golf courses, tennis courts and nightclubs await. Charleston’s hundreds of heritage buildings, and irresistible charm, are part of its allure. Beach resorts at Kiawah Island, Seabrook and Edisto Island make for romantic getaways. Marshes, moss-bearded palms and oak groves create ambiance in the haunting Lowcountry.

The ferry to and from Daufuskie Island was quick, easy ride and the team offered great customer service! We missed the last boat over on Saturday due to several traffic issues in Florida, and the team set us up with a water taxi (additional cost) but credited the cost of the ferry ride, which they were not obligated to do.
