The island's lifeline - the public Lowcountry Ferry from C.C. Haigh Jr. Boat Landing on Hilton Head to Melrose Landing; no bridge, no cars, golf carts waiting on the other side.
Daufuskie Island Ferry
- Dogs
- Dogs welcome
The public ferry carries pets, and Daufuskie is about as dog-friendly as this coast gets once you land — all three restaurants have outdoor seating that welcomes them, and the island runs on golf carts rather than traffic. Leashed or under voice command.
The Daufuskie Island Ferry offers a unique 30-minute crossing from Buckingham Landing, near Bluffton, serving as the island's only connection to the mainland. Since there are no bridges or cars on Daufuskie, this ferry is essential to island life. Golf carts are ready for rent on the other side, making for an easy transition into exploring the car-free island.
