White Bluff and Coffee Bluff was one of four sites historically used by African-Americans in the community to access the water. The area lies close to St. Catherines Island, Ossabaw Island, and Sapelo Island, as well as the Vernon and Ogeechee Rivers. That proximity allowed communication and travel between different communities and the intermingling of slaves, which eventually led to the settlement of this area. The community's cultural identity is preserved here.
