A Day in Palmetto Bluff

Wake to birdsong and sunlight filtering through the trees, then enjoy a coffee on your porch as the mist rises off the river. Take a morning stroll or bike ride along miles of nature trails that connect neighborhoods to the village center, parks, and scenic riverfront.

Later, tee off on the Jack Nicklaus course, paddle through the tidal creeks, or enjoy lunch at a café in Wilson Village. Spend the afternoon browsing the shops, relaxing at the spa, or casting a line from the dock.

As dusk settles in, gather with neighbors for cocktails under the oaks, listen to live music by the water, or enjoy a quiet evening meal at one of the community’s fine dining spots. In Palmetto Bluff, every day flows with grace, connection, and the unmatched beauty of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
