The landscape around Bluffton is low-lying tidal marshland along the May River, which has shaped both the town's waterfront layout and local economy. Old Town Bluffton occupies a bluff above the river, where Calhoun Street and a collection of historic houses retain the scale of an earlier Lowcountry settlement. The Church of the Cross, completed in 1857, is a prominent example of Gothic Revival architecture and a lasting local landmark. Bluffton sits within South Carolina's Lowcountry, a coastal region associated with the living Gullah Geechee cultural heritage.
