Fripp Island

The ideal destination for intimate getaways for two, small and large family vacations and reunions, destination weddings, group retreats, and business meetings for up to 300 guests, Fripp Island -- a resort and private residential paradise -- is the most seaward of the beautiful barrier islands outside of Beaufort Three and a half miles long and a half mile wide, the entire island is a sanctuary, featuring a trail maintained by the Audubon Club that offers guests spectacular views of land and water wildlife, plants, and more than 175 bird species.

Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort is hailed not only as a fabulous golf destination -- featuring two championship courses -- but also as a great family vacation destination. Neighboring islands offer even more family entertainment, including Pritchard’s Nature Conservancy and Hunting Island State Park -- named one of the nation’s Top 100 Parks and Top Ten Beaches. Fripp Island features a variety of vacation rental homes, five swimming pools, five restaurants, tennis, boating, golf, and exquisitely beautiful beaches.

Vacationers love the all-in-one-place convenience of Fripp Island, and many choose to park their cars for the duration of their stay and travel by golf cart from one end of the island to the other. Just minutes from historic Beaufort and Port Royal, Fripp Island is also an easy sightseeing day trip to Savannah (58 miles) and Charleston (90 miles).
