Fripp Island is home to a fascinating story that entices curious travelers. Referred to as the “pirate’s hideaway”, legend has it that it was the favored resting place for world explorers or 18th-century pirates. But of course, there’s much more to the barrier island’s mystique. It is also a popular vacation resort and a wildlife sanctuary for those who enjoy relaxing beach trips, nature walks, and other outdoor activities. While you’re here, stop by Fripp Island Activity Center for kayaking adventures or sea turtle education activities. Tourists can also plan a trip to Hunting Island Beach and Hunting Island State Park Beach for regular doses of sun and sea. Visiting soon?
