What to Bring

Before departing, it is recommended to contact your property manager to determine what they provide.

• Bug spray
• Sun screen
• Offline maps on your phone
  • The island can be difficult to navigate at night, and most cell phone providers' coverage is spotty on the island.
• Food
  • While there are a number of restaurants on the island, they can run out of food and are not open on specific days. No restaurant currently serves breakfast. Plan ahead.
  • Limited groceries are available on the island, but selection is limited. Purchasing food before coming to Daufuskie is strongly recommended.
• Casual clothing
  • Packing light is recommended. Many rentals include washers and dryers.
• Rain gear
• Beach towels
• Medications
• Flashlights
  • If you are coming during turtle season, red light covers are needed at night if you intend to use them on the beach.

What should I not bring?

• Bottled water
  • The water on the island is perfectly drinkable, so bringing water is an unnecessary, bulky item that is a burden for the ferry staff to carry.
