Maybe you’re one with a curiosity for the past and simply must learn more about where a town came from and how it all began. Don't worry. You can head down to one of the region’s many museums, like The Heyward House museum. Where you will discover the town’s origins, which date back to 1825, and a wealth of cultural events and traditions that helped form this town. It’s important to remember that it’s the people that make a town, yet that town and its cultures can then help to inspire newcomers from all around to grow into the people they’ll become.

 

 

The folks here are laid back and inviting. The friendly faces spread throughout the town are as delightful as the clouds that can be seen gently drifting along the coastline, although they certainly don’t tend to look like marshmallows, baskets of fruit, or whatever you happen to see up there.

Of course, the town’s promenade is home to several other delightful restaurants to discover, from Sippin Cow for a southern breakfast to, Local Pie for something a bit cheesier.

 

Then there are the other dishes found throughout town like those of The Pearl Kitchen & Bar. Here, your meal is crafted with a deep passion for the culinary art form, blending savory filet mignons and creamy whipped potatoes. Bold flavors and a love for food propagate throughout Bluffton.
