Come to this barrier island community nestled between Folly River and the Atlantic Ocean for fishing, kayaking, surfing, and parasailing. Have a picnic, go for a casual walk, ride a bike. You can even play golf on the 18-hole course atop the spot where the Battle of Stono Ferry took place in 1779. Anglers can take their pick of surf, river, pier, and deep-sea fishing. Check in with the charter companies if you're interested in fishing or sightseeing tours. Check online for schedules of the cultural events and live performances.
