http://laurasguide.blogspot.com/2010/11/sipping-sweet-scrap-iron-at-daufuskie.html From Laura's blog about Daufuskie Saturday, November 6, 2010 Sipping sweet Scrap Iron on Daufuskie Island It was a beautiful day for Autumn Fest on Daufuskie Island. Great deviled crab, fried shrimp, roasted oysters -- all local. I also sampled Old Daufuskie Crab Company's signature drink, the Scrap Iron. It's made with sweet tea Firefly Vodka that's distilled up near Charleston. Why the name Scrap Iron? It's a reference to a Daufuskie Island metonym for moonshine. The distillers would take the moonshine to Savannah by boat -- and would hide the jars under layers of scrap iron. If anyone asked, the islanders would say they were hauling scrap iron to Savannah. I learned this story today from Wick Scurry, who operates the restaurant, as well as Freeport Landing and the Daufuskie Ferry. It was a special treat to have his live narration on the ferry trip this morning.

Most beaches are packed in August, but not Daufuskie Island. Only accessible by ferry from nearby Hilton Head, Daufuskie Island is the dream for families who want a beach vacay without cars and crowds. You travel everywhere by golf cart or on foot — from the pay-what-you-wish art galleries to the volunteer-run community farm. You can walk to the beach from many of the island's adorable vacation rentals. Outfitters can help facilitate kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding or even horseback riding on the beach. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/travel/g44392660/best-places-to-travel-in-august/
