Sandy Island is about 12, acres, or 40 square miles. The creek, which stretches from the mainland to the island, creates a pathway for the residents back in the early 60s to get to and from their homes. Sandy Island has a lot of history, but perhaps what is most deeply-rooted and has shaped the island's history is the Gullah Geechee culture.
It's a place where time stops.

The residents are the direct descendants of the Gullah People. Once, it also became the coded language to keep a plantation overseer from knowing what was being said.
