Captain Chuck here, ready to help you capture the perfect shot on your next tour. If you’re a photographer, or even just someone who enjoys snapping pictures of nature, our salt marsh is one of the most photogenic places you’ll ever visit. From vibrant birdlife to scenic views, this guide will ensure you don’t miss a moment.

The key to capturing stunning images here in Beaufort County is patience and timing. Early mornings and late afternoons are the best times for soft, golden light, which makes the marsh and its inhabitants come alive. You’ll want to keep an eye out for Roseate Spoonbills wading in the creeks, their pink feathers glowing in the sunrise, and Great Blue Herons standing motionless as they hunt.


But the real challenge? Photographing our Bottlenose Dolphins! They’re fast and unpredictable, so having your camera ready at all times is crucial. When they breach the surface or leap through the air, it’s your golden opportunity for that perfect action shot.

Imagine leaving the tour with an album full of incredible photos—the kind that make you say, “I was really there.” Whether you’re after close-ups of wildlife or sweeping vistas of the marsh, I’ll help you find the best angles and moments. You won’t just capture memories—you’ll capture nature’s artistry.

Bring your camera, charge your batteries, and join me, Captain Chuck, for a photographer’s dream tour. Together, we’ll explore the best spots in the Lowcountry for wildlife and nature photography, ensuring you leave with unforgettable shots.
