Discover Old Town Bluffton

Known for its historic charm and relaxed Lowcountry lifestyle, Old Town Bluffton is alive with rich history, boutique shopping, a vibrant arts community and mouthwatering Lowcountry cuisine. Just over the bridge from Hilton Head Island, Old Town Bluffton can be a fun day trip or a weekend getaway, either way there’s plenty to do and see in the Old Town.
Ancient oak trees draped with Spanish moss line the quaint streets of Old Town Bluffton.  Many of the town’s 19th-century homes have been transformed into cafes, galleries and antique shops where regulars greet old friends and welcome newcomers with infectious Southern hospitality.  Perched on the bluff of the May River, you’ll catch glimpses of the beautiful marsh and hints of refreshing breezes as you stroll the sidewalks and explore the heart of Bluffton.
The one-square-mile National Historic District features eight antebellum buildings, including the Historic Heyward House (Bluffton’s official welcome center), the Church of the Cross built in the 1800s, the Bluffton Oyster Company, the art district along Calhoun Street as well as intersecting side streets of quaint stores and cafes.
Visitors enjoy the local farmers market, crabbing and fishing, adventures on the May River, shopping, golf and fresh, local seafood. Beyond the historic district, Bluffton offers some of the area’s best outlet shopping as well as restaurants and hotels.
Each year, Old Town Bluffton hosts a number of parades, festivals, historical, and cultural events, inviting visitors to share the pleasures and charms of this fun-loving community.
