The Historic District is also becoming a major draw for day tourists and vacation guests who enjoy exploring the island by golf cart, and especially experiencing the island's quirky restaurants, a coffee shop and an indigo dye studio located at the Mary Fields School (where the author Pat Conroy taught), unique art galleries, the historic First Union African Baptist Church, the Daufuskie Island Rum Company (a micro-distillery), an unusually profuse wildlife population, an island museum, pristine and secluded beaches, endless dirt roads shaded by Live Oak trees, and friendly locals.
