The island's storied past is honored annually at the “Isle of 8 Flags” festival, while other signature events like the Shrimp Festival, Concours d'Elegance, and the Jazz Festival showcase its diverse cultural offerings. Visitors are drawn to the island's pristine beaches, lush maritime forests, and vibrant downtown area, all of which exude Southern hospitality. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy a range of activities from beachcombing and kayaking to hiking and golfing on world-class courses.
