Three roads organize the map. US 278, Fording Island Road, runs across the north of town from the bridges to Hilton Head Island west toward I-95, lined with the shopping centers and outlets. Bluffton Parkway runs parallel to it on the south side, and locals take it to skip 278’s traffic lights. SC 46, May River Road, is Old Town’s road, running along the river past Calhoun Street.

Buckwalter Parkway links 278 and Bluffton Parkway through the middle of town, and SC 170 runs north from US 278 near Sun City toward Okatie and Beaufort. For more on each, see our Bluffton facts page.

From Old Town it is about 15 road miles to Coligny Beach on Hilton Head Island and about 24 to downtown Savannah. Our Bluffton to Savannah and Bluffton to Hilton Head pages have the drives, and the Bluffton zip codes page shades this same map by zip.
