You just won’t find many restaurants in South Carolina that are quite like Lucy Bell’s, a unique spot plopped on a remote sea island. While getting to Lucy Bell’s may seem like a challenge, it’s actually more an adventure than you’d imagine. When you think of places that are way out in the boonies, you might think they take a while to get there, or they’re in a very rural place. Both are true of Lucy Bell’s. It’s located on Daufuskie Island… an island you can only get to by way of a ferry ride.
Lucy's is especially wonderful in the fall and spring, when temperatures are ideal for sitting outside. Because outside is where Lucy Bell's best seats are located... in the shade of a centuries-old live oak tree.
The yellow building that houses the kitchen is where you'll place your food and drink order.
You won't regret a single moment (or bite) of this fun adventure!
Daufuskie Island sits just south of Hilton Head Island. The only way to get to Daufuskie is by way of a boat. You can hop a ferry to Daufuskie that leaves from Hilton Head.
If you're just going to Daufuskie Island for the day, go to the Visitor Center at 1546 Fording Island Road, Bluffton to park for FREE and take a shuttle bus to the ferry. Learn more about the Daufuskie Island Ferry, here.
Lucy Bell's is open for lunch Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
