Many romantic moments and winning photo opportunities can be realized at any time of the year.  However, the Lowcountry’s distinctive scenery combined with its mysterious light combine to make sunset viewing an enduring pastime.

Any place on the western side of the Island will give you a good sunset.  From South End locations such as Harbour Town, you will watch the sun set over Calibogue Sound and magical Daufuskie Island.  From North End locations, Skull Creek and Pinckney Island provide the scenery.  Mid-Island, western facing views are of Broad Creek and its marshes teeming with wildlife.

Many of the Island’s premier restaurants have designed their seating to afford some of the best sunset views.

The best vantage point for a sunset can be out on the water where nothing obstructs your view.  For those who want to dine while they watch the sun set, take a popular dinner cruise or a cruise to dinner on Daufuskie Island.  Nature tours at sunset are offered by most boat and kayak tour companies.  You can also rent your own boat or kayak for a private (and romantic) sunset adventure.
