Life on the Water
Water isn’t just a view at Dataw Island—it’s a way of life. Here, winding tidal creeks, expansive marshes, and breathtaking sunsets create a sense of tranquility that’s woven into every day. Whether you’re savoring fresh coastal cuisine at Morgan River Grill, raising a glass from the Clubhouse balcony as the sun dips below the horizon, or setting out by boat for an afternoon adventure, the water is always close at hand.
As a true island community, Dataw Island offers the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and vibrant connection. While the community is privately gated, visitors are always welcome to experience the Marina and Morgan River Grill. Whether you arrive by land or by water, you’ll quickly discover why life flows a little differently here.
The perfect blend of history and modern amenities.
Centuries-old live oaks draped in Spanish moss welcome you home to Dataw Island, where natural beauty and vibrant living exist in perfect harmony. Whether you’re teeing off on one of two championship golf courses, enjoying a spirited pickleball match with panoramic marsh views, challenging friends to a tennis, croquet, or bocce match, exploring scenic waterways by boat or kayak, or gathering with friends for dinner and sunset cocktails, every day is an invitation to embrace the Lowcountry lifestyle.
Just beyond the gates, the charming waterfront streets of historic Beaufort and the pristine beaches of Hunting Island State Park are both just 15 minutes away. Hilton Head, Savannah, and Charleston are also within easy reach, offering endless opportunities for shopping, dining, arts, entertainment, and travel. Yet every return home feels like a welcome retreat. At Dataw Island, you’re connected to everything you love while feeling wonderfully removed from the ordinary—a place where extraordinary natural beauty, genuine friendships, and an active coastal lifestyle come together every day.
Dataw Island’s 870-acre private island is embraced by the Morgan River and Jenkins Creek, where breathtaking water views and pristine Lowcountry landscapes are woven into everyday life. At the heart of the community, the Clubhouse overlooks the tranquil marshes of Jenkins Creek, serving as a welcoming gathering place for exceptional dining, lively events, and evenings spent watching spectacular sunsets. Nearby, the elegant Carolina Ballroom hosts celebrations throughout the year, while the Community Center provides inviting spaces for fitness, wellness, creativity, and lifelong learning.
Whether your perfect day begins with a sunrise paddle, a championship round of golf, a friendly match on the tennis or pickleball courts, or an afternoon creating art, volunteering, or simply sharing lunch with friends overlooking the water, you’ll find endless opportunities to live life your way. Rooted in Southern hospitality and inspired by the beauty of the Lowcountry, Dataw Island is more than a place to live—it’s a place where neighbors become lifelong friends, every season brings new adventures, and every day feels rich with possibility.

As lifelong entrepreneurs, Dataw has given us something that we never expected to have on a daily basis…peace, tranquility and a lack of chaos in our lives. We wake up every day and can’t believe this is “ours” and with a newfound sense of calm.
