Foodies will savor the scene on St. Helena Island. Dining options include seafood restaurants and casual cafes.

In addition to a thriving community and boatloads of natural wonders, the island is also rich in culture and history. The Penn Center, a significant educational and cultural institution, is located here, as well as the Fort Fremont Historical Park, which features a former coastal defense battery. When it comes to real estate, St. Helena Island gives buyers a lot of options. Here you’ll find single-family homes, waterfront properties, as well as undeveloped land. The median home price is around $335k with homes in gated communities or waterfront properties priced much higher. St. Helena Island has many homes that feature classic lowcountry style with large front porches and elevated foundations.

While most of the island is rural in nature, there are two gated planned communities.

Bermuda Bluff is a smaller gated community which fronts on the Beaufort river and has waterfront homes with private docks as well as homes that front on a large inland lake.
