Is it beautiful? Naturally.
 Explore the South Carolina outdoors,
where the marshes, rivers,
and forests compete with the ocean
in daily beauty contests, you'll understand why this area is called
the Treasured Coast. An astonishing variety of fish, fowl,
and land animals graces our marshlands and sea coast. Walking or
bicycling around Hilton Head or Bluffton is the best way to quietly
eavesdrop on our wilder residents. You'll meet herons, egrets,
wood ducks, Carolina chickadees, jays, bluebirds, and yellow-rumped
warblers. Sing "Summertime" as you watch
fish jump out of the water. See turtles sun themselves on the
banks of lagoons, and catch glimpses of white-tail deer and small
brown rabbits among the trees. Appreciate the food chain as you
view marsh hawks hovering and hunting. Listen very carefully at
low tide and you'll even hear the sounds of oysters in the mud.
The foliage is, quite simply, spectacular in any season. Tall, skinny
pines share the landscape with redbuds, gum trees, Chinese tallow
trees, and live oaks. Marsh grasses, ferns, orchids, water lilies,
cattails, swamp potatoes, and flowers of every color, shape, and
aroma will fill your senses as they fill the South Carolina outdoors.
Like the loggerhead turtles that toddle to the sea from their nests,
you'll be drawn to the ocean and the flat, smooth beaches. Give in
to the daily cycles of sunrises, sunsets, and the ebbing and flowing
of the tide, and you'll find how easy it is to act naturally in the
majestic South Carolina outdoors.
Create you own itinerary for the
South Carolina outdoors to include Sun & Fun
which features water sports, lighthouse tours, trolley tours,
dolphin watches and beachfront activities; and Saddles & Paddles
which features horseback riding, nature walks & lectures, wildlife
refuges, water cruises and stargazing. What are you waiting
for? Enjoy the great South Carolina outdoors!
