Why I Love Haig Point

Haig Point is located on Daufuskie Island and is only accessible via their water ferry. The boat ride takes you through the back waters of Hilton Head Island. Look to your right and you’ll go past the beautiful homes in Spanish Wells. Go a little further, then look to your left, and you’ll see the famous Harbortown Lighthouse. In between, you’re sure to see everything from porpoises to paddle boarders, as the calm warm waters of the Lowcountry area attracts both wildlife and outdoorsmen alike.

Last weekend, we celebrated Kensey and John’s wedding at the Haig Point Lighthouse and Golf Club. For 30 minutes each way to and from the wedding festivities, I enjoyed nothing but the sound of the water churning beneith the boat engine and nothing in my sight except the beauty of the Lowcountry waters. After the rehearsal on Friday, I departed Haig Point on the 6:40 boat, which provided picturesque views of the sun going down. It was the perfect time to pull out my camera and play around a bit!

Commuting to Kensey and John’s wedding was really a treat. It was by far the most relaxed I’ve ever felt on a wedding day! Having 30 minutes to peacefully clear your mind of any fog and really focus on the day ahead was refreshing and rejuvenating. I can’t wait to do it again soon!!

Walking the dock to catch the ferry…get there early or you’ll miss the boat!

Don’t you just love this perspective of the famous Harbortown Lighthouse! What better way to see it than by boat? Hmmm, maybe putting on that 18th green…
