Since first opening in 1956, the Buccaneer Club was a venerable institution on the coast, especially among locals. Originally a members-only establishment, it was known for its huge platters, brimming with all variety of local and exotic seafood. I photographed it in 2011, not long after a complete remodel or rebuild. According to recent reviews on sites like Trip Advisor and Expedia, the restaurant, located on the Sapelo River near the Belleville community, closed earlier this year.
Went there several times while my ex husband was stationed at Fort Stewart in1968. They had the best seafood around & very generous helpings.
I am several years late in visiting S. GA…..and do not know when the Buccaneer closed ?
Thanks! Finally a good picture from my home county, McIntosh.
I remember the Buccaneer Club since 1976. I remember the old Buccaneer Club when McIntosh Co. was truly rural
