Photos by Mike Covington - Low Country Photos
Sandy Island is a 9000 acre island and is a small community in Georgetown County, South Carolina, and a larger island between the Pee Dee and Waccamaw Rivers that has been preserved as a refuge and nature center. The small community is mostly made up by descendants of former slaves. The only way to get to the island is by boat. There is a "School Boat" http://www.lowcountryphotos.com/Tours/Photo-Tour-of-Sandy-Island/i-tnGQhLx/0/XL/LCP19640-XL.jpg children use to commute to the mainland every day during the school year. Workers commute to jobs using their personal boats. There is one general store (Pyatt's General Store) on the island and a church and fire station. There are no paved roads.
