Bluffton and Savannah Day Trip Guide
Bluffton + Savannah
Bluffton & Savannah
Two of the South's most beautiful destinations, 45 minutes apart — Bluffton's Lowcountry authenticity and Savannah's grand historic splendor.
Savannah is one of America's most beautiful and compelling cities, and its proximity to Bluffton makes it an easy and rewarding day trip. The contrast between the two destinations is part of the appeal — Bluffton's intimate small-town character and Savannah's grand urban beauty complement each other perfectly.
The Drive
Savannah is 45 minutes south of Bluffton on I-95 — one of the easiest and most pleasant interstate drives in the South. Leave by 9 AM to beat traffic and maximize your time in the city.
Savannah's Historic Squares
Savannah's 22 historic squares are the heart of the city — shaded by live oaks draped in Spanish moss, surrounded by stunning antebellum architecture, and perfect for slow exploration.
Savannah Dining
Savannah has one of the best restaurant scenes in the South — from classic Southern cooking to James Beard-recognized fine dining. The city is worth a visit for the food alone.
River Street
Savannah's historic waterfront district along the Savannah River offers shops, restaurants, and bars in beautifully restored cotton warehouses. Touristy but genuinely fun.
Forsyth Park
Savannah's most famous park — a 30-acre green space with a stunning fountain, live oaks, and the kind of beauty that makes you want to sit on a bench and never leave.
