Local info by HHI.com: hhi.com/daufuskie-island/map/
This Daufuskie Island map shows the whole island, about five miles from Haig Point at the north end to Bloody Point at the south, with Harbour Town across Calibogue Sound on Hilton Head. It is drawn from OpenStreetMap and the Town of Hilton Head Island’s shoreline, with north at the top and distances to scale. Blue is open water, gray-green is tidal marsh and pale green is golf course.
The boat landings are pinned in brass, and the places to eat, see and shop in navy. Tap a pin to find it in the key, or print the page and the key prints with it. For what to do once you are here, start with our Daufuskie Island guide.
Where the Boats Land
Most visitors step off at the northwest corner of the island, on the Cooper River. The county’s public ferry from the C.C. Haigh Jr. Boat Landing docks at Melrose Landing, and Freeport Marina, where the Vagabond and Island Head boats tie up, is a short walk up the shore. The Old Daufuskie Crab Company and the Freeport General Store are at the marina, and the golf-cart companies meet the boats at both. Haig Point’s own ferry, for its members and guests, lands at the island’s north tip, and there is a public dock on the New River side in the west. Times, fares and parking for every boat are on our Daufuskie Island ferry page.
Getting Around the Island
There are no rental cars, and many roads are unpaved, so visitors get around by golf cart, bike or on foot. Haig Point Road is the island’s main road: it runs from the public dock in the west across the middle of the island to Haig Point, passing the distillery. School Road runs alongside it past First Union African Baptist Church and Mary Field School, then becomes Beach Road on the way to the Bloody Point Lighthouse and the public beach off Cresting Wave Lane. Avenue of Oaks leads east into Melrose and the beach club.
Book a cart before you cross: our Daufuskie Island golf cart rentals page compares the companies, and Daufuskie Island tours cover the island with a guide if you would rather not drive.
Haig Point, Melrose and Bloody Point
Three planned communities share the island with the historic district. Haig Point fills the northeast corner; it is a members’ club community with its own ferry and golf course, and its roads, dashed on the map, are private. Melrose is on the east shore, where The Sportsman and Corakko Beach Club are open to everyone. Bloody Point is the south end, around a golf course that has been closed for years. The beach is public all along the Atlantic side. The historic sites in between are on our Daufuskie Island history page, and homes in each community on Daufuskie Island real estate.
