On our last full day in Hilton Head, we visited the old downtown of Bluffton, SC. Beautiful old buildings and more great trees. The Bluffton Oyster Company is the last commercial fresh oyster shucking house on the East Coast.

On Saturday, we went to the Island and drove around “Sea Pines”. Sea Pines is a 5,000-acre community that encompasses private neighborhoods as well as a resort, forest preserve with horse stables, PGA Tour golf course, marina and town center with shopping and dining options. It’s the most popular estate on the island and just $9 will get you into Sea Pines so you can explore all the fun activities (but no eBikes are allowed). Very beautiful and expensive.
We visited the Harbor Light Tower Museum which overlooks Harbor Town Golf Course – Famous for many golf tournaments over the decades. The red-and-white-striped Harbour Town Lighthouse is one of the most famous landmarks on Hilton Head. The lighthouse, built more than 40 years ago, offers tours and a spectacular view from above.
We then went to the other end of Sea Pines to have a beverage at the Salty Dog Cafe.

I stitched together our decals showing the order in the states we have visited. I little jumpy because I did not take the same angle every time.

For a treat, we decided to stay 5 nights at Hilton Head National RV Resort. It is actually not on the island proper, but in Bluffton, SC. We are in site 213. The resort opened in February, so it is brand new. This is the highest quality RV resort we have ever stayed in, and the post expensive at $110 / night.
The sites are perfect. Beautiful concrete slabs with all amenities and great facilities. The pool is fantastic with a lazy river. The bathrooms are marble and spacious. Pam loves the laundry facilities. Click for a map of the resort.
South Carolina is our 19th State!

We visited the Kingsley Plantation outside of Jacksonville, Florida (a national park) and took the audio tour of the property. It is a very interesting story in history; a little different than what we think of the history books. A humbling experience to see how the slave life was when Florida was owned by the Spanish and later when Florida became a United States Territory.
Here is a link to a brief overview
After visiting the plantation, we went to the Sandollar Restaurant for a drink and snack before taking the St. John’s River Ferry over the river.
A fun and educational day.
