Fripp Island

Fripp Island is a 3000 acre barrier island off the South Carolina coast located between Hilton Head and Charleston and is 20 miles from historic Beaufort. Formerly home to intrepid explorers and swashbuckling pirates, today Fripp attracts both travellers, who are repeatedly drawn to the island for its uncommon beauty and tranquility, and vacationers, who return year after year to enjoy the resort.

Here you will discover three and one half miles of unspoiled, uncrowded sandy beaches just waiting for your footprints in the sand. Prefer the pool? You have seven to choose from. Perhaps you enjoy tennis, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing - there is always something to do here. Or you can just 'soak up the sun' with a good book. You will be awed by the natural beauty on Fripp Island. Deer roam freely, sea turtles nest in the dunes, dolphin play in the rivers - and you may even see an alligator basking on a sunny bank. The salt marshes on the west side of the island are home to a variety of beautiful bird species. It is so breathtaking that Hollywood took notice and filmed two movies here: "Forrest Gump" and Disney’s “The Jungle Book”.

If golf is your passion, there are two world class golf courses to choose from: Ocean Point, a true seaside links course designed by George Cobb, consultant to Augusta National, and rated 4 STAR by Golf Digest, or Ocean Creek, Davis Love III’s first signature course, on the south end of the island. This course offers magnificent panoramic views of the Great Salt Marsh and freshwater lakes. Golf magazine named Ocean Creek “one of the top ten new courses you can play”, and Golf Digest awarded it a 4.5 STAR rating.

From beachcombing to water sports, the choice is yours. Each VIP Fractionals property is equipped with sea kayaks, touring bicycles, and a golf cart, and with your membership you also have unlimited access to all the resort has to offer.
