Although a busy summer resort, the best time to visit is perhaps in spring or fall, when the crowds disappear and the island welcomes more than 200 species of migratory birds in search of sanctuary. Against this unspoiled backdrop of nature, South County is alive with reflections of colonial America at its best. The communities abound with historic homes, museums, and reminders of a rich Indian heritage. South County is all this, plus golf, tennis, biking, clambakes and activities for the whole family. The dining and shopping opportunities are unsurpassed, and lodging ranges from bed and breakfast in colonial homes to small inns and ocean-front hotels.
South County is truly New England in a nutshell.
It's a great place to visit and to live.
