Though Native Americans inhabited the Island for thousands of years prior, Fripp Island was first discovered by Europeans in the early 17th century. Fripp Island was named for the British Captain Johannes Fripp, charged with protecting Carolina from Spanish attacks throughout the mid-17th century.
U.S. Highway 21 South ends at the gates to Fripp Island, approximately 21 miles southwest of Beaufort. Similar to Harbor Island, the private resort requires you to have overnight accommodations at Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort (frippislandresort.com) to access the 3.5 miles of white-sand beach.
