BEAUFORT SUNSET CRUISE
Overview
Boat Ecotour
In the South, we live for the golden hours at day’s end when the heat breaks and the sun sets over the horizon. The colors become more saturated and the the marsh takes on a memorable glow as we head towards dusk.
Being on the water this time of day lets us see the inhabitants of the salt marsh prepare for their nightly routines. Ibises and egrets return to their roosts, night herons begin their evening hunts and dolphins lope through the creeks.
This 1.5-hour boat cruise is a great outing for all ages and is the perfect introduction to the beauty of the Lowcountry. Afterwards, stroll the waterfront with an ice cream or enjoy dinner on Bay Street to make the day complete.
