Did You Know?
Built on oyster shells!
The Bluffton Oyster Company building, recognized as a historic structure during a recent survey, is as much a part of Bluffton's history as the Card House and the Church of the Cross. Located at the end of Wharf Street on the pristine May River, it is built on shells from previous shucking operations over the last two hundred years.
Close To Perfection
Many people have enjoyed the famous "Oyster Roasts and Low Country Boil" on the hill overlooking the May River. As the famous author of "Prince of Tides", Pat Conroy puts it: "May River oysters are close to perfection!"
