Retail Therapy: Old Town Bluffton

Written by Palmetto Bluff

Once a sleepy stop between Savannah and Hilton Head Island, the town of Bluffton is now really on the up and up.

A bustling Calhoun Street punctuated with quaint shops and busy shoppers signals the growth of the small town into a real destination, drawing in tourists and locals alike to experience a taste of Bluffton. A bit salty, a smidge spunky, and always full of hospitality, Bluffton is no longer the Lowcountry’s best kept secret – it’s a bustling hub attracting businesses of all kinds. And for those of you looking to turn your afternoon stroll down Calhoun into a spring shopping spree, you’re in luck: check out these items from The Roost, Kelly Caron Interiors, and Gigi’s Boutique, all of which line the quaint streets of Old Town Bluffton. Shopping small never seemed so full of possibilities.
