It all starts with the land.

The 20,000-acre tract known as Palmetto Bluff extends from the headwaters of the May River near the town of Bluffton, skirts Bull and Daufuskie islands via the Cooper River to its east and gives way finally to the ancient freshwater rice fields of the New River along its western edge.

Indulge in the sporting life.

Whether it is the serenity of a nature walk through the River Road Preserve, the challenge of testing your skills at the Shooting Club or the excitement in your child’s eyes when you help them catch their first largemouth bass, Palmetto Bluff offers the best outdoor experiences of the Lowcountry.

32 miles of waterfront

Cast a line into one of our many ponds and lakes or in the May River. Explore the water trails in your own kayak or canoe — or be a little more adventurous and grab a paddleboard. If you prefer a slower-paced waterfront activity, pack a picnic basket and relax on a unique beach that nature hides with the tides.
