If you’re a fisherman who enjoys a little ambiance, perhaps a little Southern charm, you might just find your piece of heaven on Spring Island in the South Carolina low country, 25 minutes from Hilton Head and Beaufort.  This private island is a different kind of coastal community; almost half of the island’s 3,000-acres has been set aside as a nature preserve.

In addition to championship golf, an equestrian center, and quail hunting, Spring Island is a fisherman’s dream where one can successfully enjoy pond, river and deep-water fishing, all in one day. 

The island’s fresh water ponds produce bragging size bass and bream that provide challenging sport on light tackle, and the saltwater ponds provide the opportunity for a “grand slam” of redfish, flounder and stripped bass. The community dock on the Chechessee River provides access to inshore and offshore fishing. Cobia, tarpon, red fish and sea trout highlight the creek fishing while blue marlin, Wahoo, king mackerel and dolphin patrol the reefs offshore. Owners can take advantage of the island’s expert guides, keep their own boat at the community dock, or purchase a waterfront homesite and build a private dock. Homeowners at Spring Island can take advantage of the fabulous fishing year-around.  It’s the perfect oasis for anyone in search of an informal, casual lifestyle surrounded by the finest amenities both man and nature can offer. Homes and home sites range from $250,000 to $4 million. 843-987-2200. www.springisland.com.
