* The county is home to MCRD Parris Island, where male recruits for the United States Marines east of the Mississippi River and female recruits from all over the country come to receive their initial training.

* Laurel Bay is mostly a military housing complex.
* Several hunt clubs and gated communities are located in the Sheldon area.
