Where Calhoun Street ends at the May River, the historic Church of the Cross consecrated in 1857 is located on a picturesque grassy bluff. The sense of peace and tranquillity on the church property is wonderful. The gothic cruciform structure designed by the architect E.B. White has palmetto topped mullioned windows with lattice shutters. The rose colored glass in the windows was imported from England. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic of Historic Places in 1975.

I have been here two times, and it is incredible. The beers are delicious! You can't go wrong with their winning pilsner. My favorite is the Farm'rd Session IPA, which is brewed with local Thai basil, satsuma, and citrumelo oranges.
They offer appetizers, salads, Sliders, and flatbreads. I enjoyed the warm, soft pretzels with stone ground mustard. They also offer a cheese plate and antipasto plate.
Shea is the senior bartender and provides excellent service. If you are traveling from elsewhere, he can tell you everything about the area, as he is a local. Put River Dog Brewing Company on your list of local establishments to support. You won't be disappointed!

This is not your typical rundown, mass market stable that has worn down horses dreading their next rider. This was a smaller, well-taken-care-of stable with healthy horses and friendly, knowledgeable folks working there. Becca was very accommodating in my spur-of-the-moment request to ride. Although trail riding was not available, go for a lesson- - it's even better. And with any luck you'll get Sarah as your instructor- friendly, clearly loves the horses and is a wealth of riding tip information. Great riding experience.
4. Rose Hill Mansion
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 384 reviews
The historic Rose Hill Mansion, known as the most beautiful plantation house in the Low Country, has long held a treasured place in Southern history. Originally built in the late 1850s by planter and physician, Dr. John Kirk and his wife Caroline, the plantation was a wedding present from Caroline's father, James Kirk. Work was halted by the Civil War, and while occupied through the years, the interior was not completed until 1946, when new owners John and Betsy Gould Sturgeon finished it in grand style. In 1980, the Welton family purchased the land and the house was later listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1987, a fire devastated the house & it sat in a state of ruin until purchased and restored by The Middleton White Foundation. After a decade long restoration, the home is now shared with the public each day, via guided history tours.

The outside of the house is breathtaking with the massive trees flowing Spanish moss. Normally I would not tell someone to go to the bathrooms but they are both so neat and unusual. The tour is so much historical information. The current owners are beyond kind to let you come into their home. Robin came down after the tour and talked among us. She was a delight.

My husband and I wanted to take a conceal and carry class. This is the place to go!!
Ed Soto and his staff are awesome. Ed is so very conscientious and stresses safety above all else. The classroom setting was very conducive to asking questions and learning. Everything was very well explained with many examples of possible situations. And again, while qualifying in the range, once again, safety was paramount. I would without any doubt highly recommend Palmetto Indoor Range!

Familys were enjoying this park in a big way. They were barbecuing, picnicking, and enjoying the out doors, In addition there are lovely fishing spots and "Secret " scenic picnic tables through out the park. The hiking trails in Sergeant Jasper meander through pine forests and wetlands teaming with water fowl. Just a visual delight.
You can see from the many pictures posted by previous reviewers that there is plenty to do here.
There is even a championship disk golf course on site.
A good place to spend a day or a few hours. I have been here about ten times.

Old town Bluffton is a one square mile area along Calhoun Street. The town of Bluffton was first settled in 1728, founded in 1852 and incurred major destruction during the Civil War. Eight antibellum houses and two churches survive from before the Civil War. The town has done a good job of blending the old with new construction to create a pleasant, unified atmosphere. With unique galleries, a mix of dining options and charming tree lining streets Bluffton is a place to spend a pleasant day.

A CUBAN EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER! A bodega filled with some of the most interesting and and hard to find boutique Spanish and South American wines in the country. Direct from our factory, Premium Cuban Seed Cigars sold at wholesale prices to the public. Signature Cuban roasted coffee. Complimentary monthly wine tastings and more!
Reviewed By WineFoodieDudes - Hilton Head, South Carolina
Probably one of the most unique wine shops you will ever visit! Owned by a Cuban with a brilliant palate and knack for finding small, unheralded estates producing premium quality wines at affordable prices. Here you will find an outstanding selection of Spanish and South American wines as well as those from other countries around the world. I buy allot of wine here, and have never had a bottle I didn't care for. I'm told nothing goes on his shelves, unless it has been tasted and meets his scrutiny and approval.
And if you are into cigars ... another reason to stop in. Owner, Juan Carlos is an interesting guy and has been producing his own line of Cuban-seed cigars for over 20 years - which he sells at wholesale prices to the public. I'm also a cigar smoker, and his are EXCELLENT!
Personal, friendly service is second to none! The place is vibrant, very attractively decorated, and the Latin music always playing automatically puts you in a good mood!
Best to check their website for hours, and also dates for the complimentary wine tastings they do. All us locals knows, if the red convertible is parked out front, you are welcome to stop in!
PS) Ridgeland address is deceiving. Location is on Okatie Highway 170 between Beaufort and Okatie.

I'm an avid golfer and like to play plenty while I'm here. This place saved my golf week. Best greens of any of the golf we played in HHI. Wide fairways but has the length and enough marsh/water if you need a challenge. It's almost all the way to 95 but worth the trip. Super friendly staff. I'd play again.
