St. Helena Island, South Carolina Information
The Sea Islands form a slender, subtropical line hugging the American
Coastline from the Carolinas to north Florida. An uncommonly fertile
complex of thickly wooded islands and black loamed mainland, the
sea islands are punctuated by broad savannahs and salt marshes.
Interlacing inlets, rivers and winding tidal creeks separate islands,
deep swamps and pine forests.
Isolated by the hauntingly beautiful physical barriers of tidal
marshes and salt water creeks, the sea island of St. Helena, near
Beaufort, South Carolina, evokes a warm feeling of stepping back
into time and nature. Bordering dense forests of pine, palmetto
and Spanish moss laden oak, St. Helena is a land of friendly people,
small farms, family neighborhoods and unparalleled friendliness.
Meandering rivers and tidal creeks blend with tree shrouded and
dusty roads which hearken back to a kinder and more gentler time
when St. Helena's great plantations produced some of the finest
cotton in the world -- Sea Island Cotton. Even today St. Helena
still maintains a 19th century aura. History and wildlife abound.
Come and experience what life was and what it can be. Come to St.
Helena Island!
