Fripp Island, located just off of the coast of South Carolina is a very popular spot for boating and fishing since it is considered a barrier island.

With the beautiful weather all year long, you can always head out for a day of fun in the sun especially with the close marina, charter services and annual fishing tournaments.

Marina                                        

The marina has everything you need for all of your boating needs. If you need help getting your boat ready to go on a water adventure, you can utilize the in-out ramp service or fill your boat up with gas so you can enjoy a long day in the sun. Are you a seasonal resident? Leave your boat at the marina while you are away. The marina has 120 convenient dry slips for long-term storage as well as 65 wet slips. For everything else boat and water related, the Marina Store is your destination. If you are leaving or returning from a boat trip, you can find restrooms and showers available. If you are looking to stock your boat, the store has live and frozen bait, tackle, sunscreen, ice and drinks and sandwiches and salads from the deli.

Have you been eager to test your balance while paddle boarding? Rentals and tours are offered daily in season at the marina. Visit Nalu or call 843-284-6258 to learn more and ask any questions you may have.

Whether you are an experienced angler or you are just getting started, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy in the area. At Fripp Island Marina and Services you can choose offshore or inshore fishing, where you will be accompanied by an experienced charter guide. If you decide to offshore fish in the Gulf Stream, you are likely to catch sailfish, mahi-mahi, barracuda, kingfish, marlin, wahoo, grouper or snapper. If you would rather inshore fish, the South Carolina coast is the place for you. Around Fripp Island, trout, flounder, red drum, cobia, tarpon and Spanish mackerel are plentiful. Whether you live on Fripp Island or are visiting on vacation, there is really no excuse not to check out the great fishing spots near you!

Fishing tournaments

There are numerous fishing events throughout the year that you can look forward to. Every May, the Fripp Island Resort Marina hosts the Memorial Day Fishing Tournament where anglers hit the water at sunrise and weigh in their catch later on in the evening to see who get awarded for the largest wahoo, dolphin, king mackerel and Spanish mackerel.

One of the biggest fishing events of the year is the annual Kingfish Tournament. Participants can compete against each other in search for a prize catch and it’s the perfect opportunity to reel in an impressive sized kingfish!

Every October is the Owen Perry Inshore Tournament  where all proceeds benefit Camp Rainbow. This camp is for Children’s Hospital of Georgia hematology and oncology patients. At Camp Rainbow, children with cancer and their siblings spend relaxing, fun-filled days with children in similar situations.

Younger fishermen, ages 6 to 14, are able to compete in their own event, the Kid’s Fishing Tourney in November. This event is usually held the day after Thanksgiving and anglers aim for trout, bass, flounder, spot and croaker. Participants fish from the marina docks, boats, in the surf, private fishing hole or from the Maxwell Memorial Bridge. Since there is no entry fee, fishermen must supply their own rod, reel and tackle.

If you are interested in one of the annual tournaments, fill out the online application to get started. There are several terrific spots around the island to sit back, relax and reel in some fish.

Water activities like boating and fishing are only a few of the many reasons why purchasing or renting a home on Fripp Island is a great idea.

Where can you go to eat in the Fripp Island area?

For starters, there’s the Springtide Market & Deli at 1 Tarpon Boulevard, right next to the Fripp Island Real Estate office. Springtide is at “the front of the island,” aka “the gateway to the island.” It’s a convenience store open daily from 9 to 5 where locals and tourists buy groceries as well as sandwiches and then some. Featuring fresh coffee and teas, beer and wine, ice cream, produce, soups and more, perhaps Springtide is best known for its deli sandwiches. If you love a good chicken or turkey salad sandwich, Springtide is the place to go. Furthermore, the place features “all day breakfast,” which is nice if you’re in the mood for sausage and biscuits in the late afternoon. From salads to burritos, and potato salad to cole slaw, this unique market/deli seems to have something for everyone. If you want to know more about Springtide Market & Deli, please call 843-838-0040.

Property owners on Fripp Island often eat at The Bonito Boathouse, a classic seafood restaurant at the Fripp Island Marina overlooking the docks. Did you know that Fripp Island is a limited access resort that functions like a gated development? Using its amenities requires the purchase of an amenity card– so you’ll need one to dine at the Bonito Boathouse. That said, Bonito Boathouse is considered to be one of the nicest places to eat dinner on the island. It has an extensive wine list and people come from near and far to try the various cocktails, like the caramel apple martini and the “Carolina Cosmo.” What are some of the restaurant’s specialties? How about the Sweet Maine Lobster Pie? It contains sweet lobster, coastal shrimp, and a Cognac lobster sauce capped in a crisp pastry lid. Diners also enjoy the crab cakes, broiled stuffed shrimp and snow crab legs. For those who don’t like seafood, try their sirloin or ribeye steak. Burgers and sandwiches are also available, and there’s a kid’s menu, too. For hours and directions to The Bonito Boathouse, please call 843-838-1506.

Looking for a nice place to eat breakfast on Fripp Island? Go to the Ocean Point Grille from 7 to 11 in the morning where you’ll find omelets and pancakes. At lunchtime (11am – 3pm), the place serves sandwiches, salads and burgers. Many golfers frequent the Ocean Point Grille; call 843-838-1508 for more information.

Speaking of golfers, as many people know, Fripp Island attracts golfers from around the nation to its beautiful courses. Fittingly, there’s a place called The 19th Hole. It’s in the Ocean Creek Clubhouse and has a nice patio overlooking the 18th hole. Open seasonally, The 19th Hole is where to go for breakfast or lunch while enjoying a day of golf. Call 843-838-1509 for details.

Also open seasonally is The Beach Club Food Court on Tarpon Boulevard, where families go for dine-in or carryout chicken, pizza, tacos, wraps, ice cream and more. Customers like the fried potato wedges and chicken strips. It’s right next to two pools– one for everybody and one for adults only, so it’s convenient when you’re hungry after a swim. At this property, you’ll also find the more formal Fripp Island Beach Club with a dining room overlooking the Atlantic. Customers rave about the lobster pot pie and the pecan crusted grouper, and you can enjoy wine with your meal here.

During the summer, people flock to the Cabana Club restaurant at 22 Sea Mist Road. With both indoor and outdoor seating, this place offers pools to swim in as well as fantastic views of Pritchard’s Island and Skull Inlet. Burgers, hot dogs, fries, sandwiches, salads and more are on the lunch menu here. Occasional specials can include fried catfish, gumbo and pulled pork. Willie’s Wet Bar serves exotic tropical drinks poolside. Call 843-838-1598 with any questions you might have.

Not too far from Fripp Island is the Johnson Creek Tavern at 2141 Sea Island Parkway on Harbor Island. Try their Jamaican Jerk pork chops, “Frogmore Stew” (a local tradition with shrimp, sausage, onions, peppers and corn), and/or the BBQ Ribs or stuffed flounder. Fried oysters by the bucket or on the half shell are popular here. Looking for shrimp served in Alfredo sauce mixed with grits? This is the place to get them. Call 843-838-4166 for hours and directions and to find out when they’re having live musical entertainment.

Along Highway 21 (Sea Island Parkway), about a twenty minute drive from Fripp Island proper, you’ll also find the Shrimp Shack, offering straight-up seafood eaten outdoors, as well as Boondocks (seafood, steak and ribs), Gullah Grub (chowders, gumbos, corn bread) and MJ’s Soul Food restaurant (ox tail, liver and onions and collard greens) among other drinking and dining establishments.

Fripp Island is a beautiful and wonderful place to golf. As a barrier island on the Atlantic coast of South Carolina, it offers sunny days, warm temperatures, and, best of all, spectacular views of the ocean.

If you’re a golfer, you need to visit Ocean Point Golf Course on Fripp Island. While there, enjoy the view of the ocean at the first tee. Feel the ocean breezes on your body. Be challenged by the offshore winds. And, to make it especially interesting, watch out for pond alligators nearby. Ocean Point Golf Course has some of the greenest grass you’ll find at any golf resort in the world. It’s also surrounded by nature’s beauty, from blue herons flying above to the distant crash of ocean waves in the distance.

Besides Ocean Point Golf Course, there’s also Ocean Creek. Designed by Davis Love III, its pristine setting includes cypress, mangrove and pine trees along the fairways. Love, a beloved PGA player, also happens to be a great architect of golf courses like Ocean Creek. He utilizes the native landscape to dramatic-yet-subtle effect. At times there are thick woods to the one side of the course and water on the other. Some have said they feel like they’re golfing in a painting come to life because the area is so naturally and artistically beautiful to the eyes.

Indeed, one of the reasons people take up golf is for the chance to get outdoors and enjoy the scenery. Fripp Island offers well-maintained, visually-stunning golf courses that make for unforgettable experiences. You’ll be happy to just be able to say to others you’ve been there, let alone played golf by the ocean!

Golfing is a good sport because it challenges the body and mind. It can uniquely be both challenging and relaxing at the same time. After all, part of the fun of the game is seeing how many swings it ultimately takes to get that little white ball into a far off hole, right? Being outside in the sunshine can be relaxing. You’ll get a bit of a tan if you want to, and the gentle exercise of golf loosens up the body and gets endorphins flowing. It’s a feel-good time.

Perhaps one of the main reasons people love to golf, besides the scenery and exercise it affords, is that golfing is a social activity. Many friends enjoy a golf game together, and if you play the sport often, you’re likely to make new friends on the course. Whether you joke around or place bets on who will win, one thing’s for sure: golf is a social game. It’s fun.

Golf is a major focus of Fripp Island, but it’s also home to other family-friendly, active pursuits like tennis, bicycling and canoe tours. People don’t come to Fripp Island to stay indoors and watch TV. They come to explore the great outdoors, get active, and enjoy life to the fullest.

While nearby Hilton Head Island is a very developed, commercial area, Fripp Island, its golf courses, and other amenities offer a more relaxed pace and less traffic. Tidal creeks, marsh grasses and white sands help make Fripp Island an ideal place to spend time near the Atlantic Ocean.

Since it’s a resort community, Fripp Island is a great place to find your next home. With the help of John Lee, the area’s premier real estate agent, you can find the perfect year-round residence or a vacation retreat. Lee’s company, Fripp Island Real Estate, is great at matching buyers/renters with homes, condos, rentals and/or beachfront property to meet their needs. Call 843-575-2820 to schedule an appointment with Lee to discuss what you’re looking for, and be sure to mention if you’re a golfer or someone who wants to take up the sport.

Fripp Island is a great place to own a rental property. It’s a secluded hideaway with three and a half miles of beach. Located off the coast of sunny and warm South Carolina, Fripp Island is known as a place for relaxing. People use golf carts and bicycles to get around the island.

Do you like the idea of owning a place where the temperature is typically between 60 and 85 degrees? Fripp Island’s cold season gets down to 60 degrees, though most of the year the weather is sunny, warm, and beautiful, to the point where people feel like they’re in paradise. Indeed, many snowbirds dream of the days they can get away to Fripp Island when the temperature dips below freezing up North.

As a semitropical paradise, Fripp Island has many outdoor amenities besides the beach. There are two golf courses, several swimming pools, and tennis courts for those who live an active lifestyle. Meanwhile, there are places to go fishing and kayaking nearby, and if the timing is right you just might see dolphins in the waters around the island.

Rental properties on Fripp Island appeal to people of all ages, including families with young children. There’s “Camp Fripp” and a seaside waterpark at Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort for youngsters.

One of the ideal things about Fripp Island is its location, just a short drive away from the historic town of Beaufort, which features oak trees draped in Spanish moss. Visit Beaufort’s lovely historic district to be surrounded by quaint and charming old-world architecture. One “must see” is The Beaufort Arsenal Museum at 713 Craven Street. Completed in 1798, the museum will take you back in time as you view Indian artifacts, art, textiles, and even weapons from the Civil War era.

Where do people who rent a place on Fripp Island go to shop for fun? There’s the Fordham Market at the corner of Bay and Carteret Streets where many ladies enjoy browsing the jewelry, collectibles, antiques, artwork, and gifts for all occasions. For beach toys, clothing and souvenirs, a trip to the brightly-colored Barefoot Bubbas on Harbor Island is a fun time. Chocoholics simply must visit The Chocolate Tree. In business making chocolate on the premises since 1980, The Chocolate Tree is a real treat to visit for people of any age.

While you could eat at your Fripp Island rental home provided you go grocery shopping, oftentimes it’s nice to take a quick trip to Beaufort for interesting dining options. Many restaurants are known for offering live entertainment, including the Johnson Creek Tavern and Steamers Oyster & Steakhouse. Since you’re near the sea, visit the Shrimp Shack for seafood. It’s on Highway 21 between Beaufort and Fripp Island. Other seafood restaurants include Boondocks, the 11th Street Dockside Restaurant, and Barbara Jean’s. If you go to Barbara Jean’s you should try their signature item: Eastern Shore-style Crab Cakes. They’re filled with lump crab meat and no fillers.

What do most people desire? They want to be somewhere that’s relaxing, where the weather is pleasant, the food tastes good, there are plenty of nearby amenities, and life, in general, is “a vacation.” It’s no wonder, then, that realtor John Lee has helped several people find their ideal home on Fripp Island. Lee’s company, Fripp Island Real Estate, knows the island well, as well as nearby Harbor Island and St. Helena Island. When you’re looking for a gorgeous South Carolina home for yourself or one to rent to others, Lee and company are the realtors you’d want to work with. They have the experience, knowledge and love for the area that set them apart from the competition.

Have you heard the phrase “life’s a beach?” Well, on Fripp Island, life is just that– a beach– a wonderful place to spend time, far from the hustle and bustle of smoggy cities. Get in touch with Fripp Island Real Estate’s John Lee at 843-575-2820 to discuss your real estate dreams today.

Fripp Island is one of South Carolina’s best-kept secrets. Whether you’re looking for a seasonal vacation home, or planning on a permanent relocation to paradise, Fripp Island might be the right place for you! We’re not simply a vacation spot, and the locals will tell you that we have tons of stuff going on all year round. Here’s a look at just some of the many fun things to do on Fripp Island that locals and tourists enjoy alike:

An Ocean Sunrise Unlike Any Other

Start the day off right while watching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Take a stroll on one of our gorgeous beaches, and maybe collect a few shells along the way. Since the island is narrow, you’re never more than a few minutes away from a beach.

For a new perspective, head over to the Hunting Island Lighthouse for a bit of exercise, and climb all 167 steps to the top. It seems a bit daunting, but we promise the panoramic view of the picaresque South Carolina coast is well worth it. You may find yourself going back to the lighthouse on a regular basis to check out the incredible view!

Outdoor Adventures at Fripp Island

Once you descend from the lighthouse, hit the beach! If you’re not one to sit still and read a book, you can rent some kayaks or pontoons to keep things interesting from Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort. They also offer golf cart, moped and bike rentals, all of which are great ways to tour the island.

If you love horses, contact Camelot Farms and arrange to ride horses along the shoreline! Owning a horse is a huge expense, but you can borrow one from Camelot whenever you’d like.

Take a guided water tour of Pritchards Island, which is uninhabited, and learn all about the ecological systems at work in this unique area from our naturalist experts.

Fripp Island History

Our island and the surrounding area is rich in American history: Spend some days on St. Helena Island, learning about Penn Center, one of the first schools for the children of freed slaves, and a small cottage where Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote his “I have a dream…” speech.

Once you’ve toured St. Helena, check out some of the other islands in the area like Beaufort, known for its historical downtown area, which is an officially designated historical district.

Dinner, Drinks and Movie Always Make For a Fun Night

If you feel like sitting still after all that activity, catch a movie at Highway 21 Drive In, a true drive in movie theater, one of the only remaining drive ins in the country.

At the end of the day, enjoy a frosty or frozen drink at The Sandbar, a casual ocean front bar known for its live entertainment and casual setting.

After a few drinks, if you’re interested in having a delicious dinner while taking in some incredible scenery, look no further than Bonito Boathouse. Enjoy a yummy meal with a view of the marina at this local hotspot known for its seafood, service and atmosphere. Locals love the she crab soup, and the Southern classic shrimp & grits!

These are just some of the many activities you and your loved ones can enjoy while you’re living on Fripp Island—and we didn’t even mention the golfing, fishing, bird watching or tennis! Contact me at john@fripprealestate.com for more information on purchasing a second home or relocating to this special paradise located in South Carolina.

At Fripp Island Real Estate, we love our beach community and we aren’t the only ones.

Real Estate Scorecard has named Fripp Island as the 2016 Bliss Award Recipient for Best Beach Community in the South. Judges with came to the conclusion after visiting numerous beach communities throughout South Carolina and couldn’t find a more beautiful private island in the Lowcountry than Fripp.

They went on to talk about the how the shallow wading pools, sand bars and sand dunes along the 3 miles of beach create natural playgrounds for people to enjoy. What also impressed them about our beaches was its sand as well as what can be found on it. There are shells found all along the beach that are beautiful additions to the scenery and when the tide is low, the sand gets hard making it a perfect beach for walking on.

Real Estate Scorecard even talked about how the wildlife on Fripp Island is also truly something to behold. Not only are the waters filled with shrimp, blue crabs and native fish, but the island has also been noted to have more than 170 different species of birds in or around it. Fripp Island is also one or the rare places one can witness bottlenose dolphins strand feeding, so if you love dolphins this might be the spot to come visit.

They also continued to say that Fripp Island is a great place to find beachfront homes, island cottages and low maintenance condominiums. What also impressed them is that about one-third of the island is still undeveloped, so the opportunity to move to Fripp Island is still wide open for anyone looking to relocate and built a new home.

Golf is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful weather. Here on Fripp Island, we have two different courses open year round that are perfect for anyone looking to hit the links with their friends or family for the day.

Ocean Creek Golf Club

The Ocean Creek Golf Course opened in 1995 and was designed by PGA Champion Davis Love III and Paul Cowley. This course is more than just golf, however, as it takes golfers through salt water marshes, fresh water lagoons, lush vegetation and four rolling dunes which are all sights to behold of themselves. The landscape is actually so beautiful that it has even attracted movie studios to film such movies as “Forest Gump” and “The Jungle Book.”

While on the course, you may also have a chance to say hello to such animals as egrets, osprey, heron and deer. So if you are a wildlife enthusiast, then this course is perfect for you. Need more convincing? Ocean Creek Golf Club was named one of the 10 Best New Courses in America by Golf Digest the year it opened, as well as receiving a 4.5-star rating from them.

Ocean Point Golf Links

Opened in 1964, Ocean Point Golf Links was designed by George Cobb, who was the design consultant for Augusta National, where The Masters are played every year. The course is a par 72 and features well-bunkered small greens that place a huge emphasis on accurate striking with the irons.

Much like Ocean Creek Golf Club, Ocean Point features numerous beautiful views including several holes that face the Atlantic Ocean. It has received a 4-star rating from Golf Digest and was also named a Golden Links Award winner, making it a must-golf destination for anyone in the area.
