Nestled just a few miles from the scenic coastal region of Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, South Carolina, is a popular travel destination and an excellent place to retire. Forbes named it among the top retirement locations in the U.S., and it doesn’t take much effort to see why.

Given this town’s affordable cost of living, access to healthcare, low crime rate, walkable layout, and favorable tax laws, Bluffton lends itself to a relaxed and downsized retirement life.

In addition, its resort community vibes and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean make Bluffton ideal for recreational amenities such as 18-hole golf courses, castanet or deep-sea fishing, and boat or yacht charters.
