Fripp Island

Welcome to Fripp Island

Fripp Island is a private, gated oceanfront community located 20 miles east of historic Beaufort on the tip of St. Helena Island — one of the most secluded barrier island addresses on the South Carolina coast. Accessible by a single causeway, the island offers three miles of uncrowded Atlantic beach, two championship golf courses, a deep-water marina, tennis and pickleball facilities, multiple pools, and a full-service club. The natural setting is exceptional — maritime forest, tidal creeks, and some of the best wildlife viewing in the Lowcountry, including a well-known resident deer population that moves freely through the community.
 
Property ownership includes access to the Fripp Island Resort amenity package, and many homes participate in the resort rental program, offering income potential alongside personal use. The mix of oceanfront cottages, marsh-front homes, golf-front lots, and interior properties creates a range of price points within a consistently private and natural setting. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a second home, or an investment property, Fripp delivers a rare combination of seclusion, amenities, and coastal character that's difficult to find anywhere along the Eastern Seaboard.
