Iron man: Daufuskie artist forges ahead with ornament project Monday, 29 November 2010 10:10 Take a talented Daufuskie Island artist and mix him with the students at Daufuskie Island Elementary School and the result is a collection of whimsical, colorful hand-crafted ornaments. For the past four years, Chase Allen of Iron Fish Art has provided 500 hand-cut fish ornaments for students to decorate. The ornaments are donated to the staff of Volunteers in Medicine, who glitter, wire and package the colorful artwork for sale at $10 each. The artist knows firsthand the value of the free medical care provided by Volunteers in Medicine. “Before I got health insurance, I used VIM,” Allen said. “I don’t know what I would have done without them.” Allen has been creating iron fish, mermaids and crab sculptures on Daufuskie since 2001, and his work has been featured in national publications including Coastal Living and Southern Living. “I love getting the kids involved on this project,” said Allen. “It’s important that they learn at a young age the importance of helping your community.” Details: 843-681-6122, ironfishart.com

Most beaches are packed in August, but not Daufuskie Island. Only accessible by ferry from nearby Hilton Head, Daufuskie Island is the dream for families who want a beach vacay without cars and crowds. You travel everywhere by golf cart or on foot — from the pay-what-you-wish art galleries to the volunteer-run community farm. You can walk to the beach from many of the island's adorable vacation rentals. Outfitters can help facilitate kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding or even horseback riding on the beach. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/travel/g44392660/best-places-to-travel-in-august/
