about

South Carolina’s Lowcountry is a place where history, wildlife, and water meet. Salt marshes stretch for miles, barrier islands shelter nesting sea turtles, and tidal creeks feed an abundance of birdlife. Dolphins hunt in the shallows while the Atlantic rolls in beyond the dunes. Whether you’re paddling a kayak or walking an empty stretch of beach, this coastline is best explored slowly, in step with the state’s vibe.

Charleston

No items found.

Charleston sits between the Atlantic and the salt marsh, a city where centuries-old streets lead straight to the water. Beyond its historic center, tidal creeks and barrier islands provide critical habitat for dolphins, sea turtles, and hundreds of bird species. The surrounding coastline offers year-round encounters with wildlife — best explored by boat, kayak, or on foot along the city’s edges. And beneath those waters, divers still uncover the fossilized teeth of ancient megalodons, proving that this coast has been wild for millions of years.
