Seaside fun in Fripp Island vacation home rentals

To call Fripp Island, South Carolina a singular destination really wouldn’t be doing it justice. Get ready to experience an island with a vast assortment of unusual native wildlife; an island with the historical charm of yesteryear in the shape of drive-ins and carriage rides; an island that is itself a movie star; an island where everyone drives… golf carts?! And with Fripp Island vacation rentals, you're just a hop, skip and a jump from beaches, restaurants, marshes, golf courses, art galleries, pirate ships and so much more…

Things to do

Sightseeing near vacation rentals in Fripp Island

Fripp Island vacation rentals have long attracted vacationers of one kind or another, but one visitor is said to have left something behind: local legends say that the fearsome pirate Blackbeard actually buried his treasure here! Keep your eyes peeled for it as you explore the sights, from the panoramic (and climbable!) Hunting Island Lighthouse to the historical ruins of the St. Helena Parish Chapel of Ease in nearby Frogmore. Movie buffs will doubtless want to check out the Ocean Creek Golf Course, where scenes of Forrest Gump were filmed.

Activities

Things to do near Fripp Island vacation homes

Start the day right by taking in the glorious sunrise on a stroll along one of the island’s many spectacular white sand beaches. The rest of it is yours to enjoy: rent a golf cart and set out on a scavenger hunt, cast a line out at Wardle’s Landing, or try out some watersports: paddle surfing and kayaking are both popular options, depending on whether you prefer the natural beauty of neighboring Pritchards Island or the liberating rush of riding the waves of the Atlantic. A seafood dinner is, of course, de rigeur—try the she-crab soup, with locally-caught blue crab meat!
