Explore North Inlet Creeks: Guided Kayak Tour in Myrtle Beach's Pristine Wetlands

Explore North Inlet Creeks: Guided Kayak Tour in Myrtle Beach s Pristine Wetlands

Discover one of the Grand Strand's most enchanting destinations south of central Myrtle Beach: the North Inlet-Winyah Bay Reserve. Spanning over 18,000 acres of tidal marshes and wetlands, including 12,000 acres within the historic Hobcaw Barony on Waccamaw Neck, this protected area offers unparalleled natural beauty.

Nature lovers and experienced kayakers flock here for its diverse flora, fauna, and rich history. On September 5, join a naturalist-guided paddle through the North Inlet creeks. This ocean-dominated estuary features expansive salt marshes and an undeveloped forested watershed, providing endless opportunities for exploration. The tour includes an educational overview of the ecosystem, natural history insights, and basic kayaking instruction.

Having personally paddled the Hobcaw Barony waters with my spouse, I can attest to its must-visit appeal for outdoor enthusiasts. At $60 per person, it's an exceptional value for immersing in nature and history.

For novice kayakers: Wear sturdy shoes, pack snacks and water, and bring a camera, binoculars, sunscreen, and hat. Tours are limited to six participants—reserve in advance by calling (843) 904-9016. Meet at the Hobcaw Barony Discovery Center, and consider a guided property tour while there.

Appropriately, it's home to Santa's Workshop, believed to be the nation's oldest theme park. FRIDAY5 pm: Comfort fo

  • Discover the North Cascades: An Unforgettable Day Trip Adventure

    If there’s one thing I love, it’s a good road trip. There’s something so be said about the freedom of an open road- a fresh playlist to jam out to, a selection of good snacks to munch on, and if you’re really lucky, a few companions that enjoy the spontaneity of venturing to new places as much as you do. After gaining inspiration from Seattle Met Magazine’s “The Prettiest Road Trip in the Pacific Northwest” I figured what better way to see the fall foliage than a day trip around the Cascade
