The Moss Creek Marina sits on the tidal creek that gives the Bluffton community its name — docks and slips, a long crabbing dock, and the Bostwick Pavilion deck above it all, with its four Adirondack chairs aimed at the water. Fog, dusk and low tide do most of the decorating. The marina photo at the top of this page has been viewed 62,232 times on Google Maps. More Moss Creek: the golf club and the nature preserve.
