We’ve now been to South Carolina twice, seven days in total. I think this gallery shows how easy it is to find wildlife in the Palmetto state. In the years to come we’ll eventually go again and this gallery will inevitably grow.
I highly recommend visiting Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge on Hilton Head Island. A little over an hour there was enough time to see an amazing array of birds and numerous alligators.
