Of all the live/work/play communities along the Carolina coast, the vision for Daniel Island may have been the most grandiose. If you’re a resident with a club membership, the island’s pools and amenities are top notch. But fortunately for everyone, the restaurant and event scene continues to grow and flourish. You may find yourself on Daniel Island for a concert or soccer game this summer—come hungry and enjoy your time in this attractive enclave.
