This small island near Charleston, SC has only about 50 houses, allows no cars and is only accessible by ferry or boat.
It is an amazing place - something like staying in a wildlife refuge. Our visitor orientation consisted of: what to if you see an alligator in the (golf cart) road (stop and let it pass), what time to meet for sea-turtle patrol (before 7am - say no more), how to realize you've disturbed a seabird's nest (apparently they act injured to lure you away).On our first trip to the beach, we found several amazing shells.
We also went seining - a method of fishing using a long net. We weren't fishing but we helped the local naturalists collect glass shrimp, gar fish, and flounder for the nature center's touch tank and we also saw lots of crabs and silver fish who were caught in the net and helped back to the ocean (well the crabs didn't seem too receptive to our "help").
Finally, after all this nature, we napped on the hammock :).
