Great 1st time adventure to Boneyard Beach! I'm a shell ???? lover so that was my main focus this trip! Looking forward to coming again as this has so much to offer the nature lover. January was perfect! No bugs. 75° day with overcast. I had read hundreds of reviews and didn't see 2 pieces of advice I'll pass along. Bring a bike with a basket for shells. (Knobby Welks are heavy!) It may be difficult to ride on the sand however I think it could've worked ok OR leave it after the 1.5 mile walk from boat to beach. It's another 1.25 miles to where the welks are. The other item is I've found that there's a bug spray with Pecaridin in it made by Avon. (Not Skin so soft). This stuff works on tics, biting flies, noseeums, and more! Trust me, I've tried everything and this really works. They even have it with SPF 30 too.

We went with the inlaws for a little post-Thanksgiving-Day-Food-Coma fun, which also happened to be a day that Charleston experienced very cold weather. We had blast listening to the guides and interacting with the birds. My husband and I previously visited a Falconry site in Ireland and had really enjoyed the experience. At The Center for Birds of Prey, we had the opportunity to learn about different owls, including an Eurasian owl who flew between visitors- a very cool experience, as well as rescued bald eagles, and vultures. During the demonstration, we had the opportunity to see a variety of falcons/hawks and how they hunt. I highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in wildlife and animals. The children present with families ranged from infants to middle school aged. It was fun for the whole family.

Take the loop walk behind the visitor center for beautiful fall colors along the path but particularly around the small lakes. Nice for a quick visit. Check the website to see scheduling of the outstanding wolf presentation.

The best section of the Palmetto Trail is the Awenday passage a 7 mile section from the canoe launch in Awendaw to Buck Hall. The parking is free at the canoe launch and you have to pay at Buck Hall if you park there. Start your hike at the canoe launch parking lot and hike for a couple of hours and return to the same parking lot. You can hike out for an hour or so and then hike back for great exercise and you get a breeze most of the time. Bring insect repellent in the summer time. Winter is great for hiking here.
