The May River has always been a vital part to this community's continued success and prosperity. Bluffton's close proximity to Beaufort and Savannah made it a popular coastal distribution center in the 1800s, which allowed local farmers to ship their crops up and down the coast.
Today, the river is one of beautiful Bluffton's main attractions. Visitors and residents alike enjoy the sprawling marsh views and fresh seafood caught daily by the famous Bluffton Oyster Company.
