Lucy Bell's Is An Incredible South Carolina Restaurant That's Way Out In The Boonies But So Worth The Trip

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.

Then go and grab a table under the oak and enjoy the gentle breeze blowing in from the water.
