Wildlife Conservation

Join us for a special fundraising expedition that takes you behind the scenes of sea turtle conservation in Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. This early-morning adventure begins in the dark—just like the dedicated turtle team’s daily routine. We’ll depart by boat from the mainland before sunrise and head to Boneyard Beach on Bulls Island, arriving with just enough time to walk the shoreline before the tide washes away the tracks. As you explore the beach alongside our naturalists, you’ll search for crawls, false crawls, and freshly laid nests. Learn how the turtle team identifies and marks nests, and get a firsthand look at the critical work that protects thousands of loggerhead sea turtles each nesting season. This is more than just a beach walk—it’s a rare opportunity to witness the quiet magic of sunrise on a wild barrier island, while supporting vital conservation efforts. Proceeds directly benefit the Sea Turtle Program in Cape Romain through the Coastal Expeditions Foundation.   Limited to 30 people Meet at Garris Landing in Awendaw, SC. 100% of tickets will directly support the work of the Sea Turtle Team in Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge.
