“Beautiful beaches, southern hospitality, and great golfing are waiting on this luxurious island,” said Livability.com when they added Fripp Island Beach to its listing of The Best South Carolina Beaches for Avoiding Crowds.
Lots of vacationers plan their trips with the idea of avoiding large, loud, crowded beaches, and Fripp Island Beach is definitely an ideal spot for it. If you want crowds, then you’ll most likely enjoy the hub-bub on the beaches in Myrtle Beach, at Coligny on Hilton Head or on Tybee Island, GA.
“A beach vacation is supposed to be all about peace and quiet. But make the wrong choice of destination, and you’re likely to find yourself square in the middle of a Spring Break extravaganza,” Livability said about its list.
“[Fripp is] a top-rated destination for romantic weddings, intimate getaways, and family vacations alike. The island also offers over 3.5 miles of uncrowded beaches, tennis courts, tons of kayaking opportunities, and a seaside water park for little ones that features a kiddie pool with a giant frog fountain and alligator slides.”
Renowned for its resort amenities and natural conservation, Fripp Island mostly serves as a private, gated residential vacation resort, but several hundred residents make it their permanent home, and we know from experience that you just can’t beat the quiet natural beauty of Fripp beach.
“Although vehicles are allowed on the island, expect to see a lot of the preferred methods of local transportation: bikes and golf carts, which add to the beach’s peaceful vibe,” Livability added.
Rounding out the list are:
Isle of Palms Beach
Garden City Beach
Bloody Point Beach, Daufuskie Island
Folly Beach
Huntingdon Beach State Park
Kiawah Island
Also, recently, Southern Living named 15 spots across the U.S. that they consider to be “the best islands in America,” and, you guessed it, Fripp Island was one of them.
