May River – Bluffton, South Carolina

The May River winds its way along the Bluffton shore in Beaufort County …

Russ Greene, who contributed the stunning shot above, describes the scene: “The May River is a Bluffton tradition. This picture is taken overlooking the ‘bluff’ from which the town’s name originated. Whether buying fresh seafood from the Bluffton Oyster Company, spending lazy summer afternoons on the sandbar, or fishing off of one of the many docks on its shores, the May River is a local treasure.”

Kim Holstein, also of Bluffton, submitted this beautiful shot and says, “This photo was taken off the Calhoun Street dock facing west down the historic May River. The shrimp boats you see in the distance are docked at the Bluffton Oyster Company, a locally owned family company that still fishes the waters of the May River daily.”
