When a friend suggested that we would love the Montage at Palmetto Bluff in between Hilton Head, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, we decided to explore it in the off-season. We were avoiding the summer months since they are known for the Low Country’s extremely hot weather and swarms of flying pests such as mosquitos and “no-see-ums.”
We entered Palmetto Bluff on the straight road bordered with swamp land, bayous and the May River and its tributaries. Once through the gate, we drove a bit more than 4 scenic miles past private homes and tall pines, magnolias and palmetto trees of all sizes. The live oaks trees draped with gray beards of Spanish moss were awe-inspiring in their unusual beauty.
