Bluffton, The Last True Coastal Village Of The South

Nestled in the southern tip of South Carolina, just over the bridge from Hilton Head Island, SC and 20 miles northeast of Savannah, GA, Bluffton is easily accessible from Intrastate Highways 46, 170, 287 and Interstate 95. The area of Bluffton offers a small town feel while its location adjacent to Hilton Head Island provides luxury amenities, fine dining, shopping, and sub tropical temperatures. The natural landscape and pristine environment meshes perfectly with the great cultural pride of Bluffton residents.

Old Towne Bluffton

Until recently, Bluffton was a town of one square mile, but as Hilton Head Island grew and expanded, Bluffton began to benefit as well with the growing number of people wanting to be near Hilton Head Island, but still enjoy the closeness and charm of a small town. Bluffton currently covers about 35 square miles of land.  The original one square mile is now known as “Old Town”, and is the area where most of the historical preservation, landmarks, and tours take place. Many newer neighborhoods with shopping, dining, golf, parks, recreation, and commercial businesses have been popping up in the last few years, but the small town feel of the original Bluffton is still preserved and maintained through careful city planning.
