New settlers leave stress of city life behind.
The Carolina coast has dozens of islands along its 400-plus miles along the Atlantic. Though many are growing in popularity, it's still easy to find a hideaway though you might have some winged company. No man is an island, the poet said a few centuries ago, but many choose to live on islands along the Carolina coast that stretches from McKay Island in North Carolina to Daufuskie Island in South Carolina. Coastal islands range from the barrier sea islands like Hilton Head and Ocracoke to islands set off by rivers and creeks like Daniel and Callawassie. The ambience varies as well.
