Docks on the river.
Bamboo utensils float if they fall overboard.
ONE OF THE lowcountry’s most beautiful suburbs, Isle of Hope is a charming tidewater village on a high bluff overlooking the Skidaway River. Originally built as summer retreats for wealthy neighboring plantation squires, several of the homes along the scenic bluff were constructed in the nineteenth century. As both Savannah and the village grew, the houses became permanent residents of water-loving “sandlappers,” as residents of the lowcountry are known. Most of the homes along Bluff Drive have long docks that jut out into the marsh-lined river. Nearly everyone is a fisherman of sorts.
