 Nature Brochure

Participate in the splendor of the natural world of the Low Country during the peak of land bird migration, when indigenous wildflowers are in splendid bloom.

Wake up at Sea View Inn to the sound of the surf stitched through with the liquid calls of Purple Martins, rollicking song of Carolina Wrens and medley of imitations from Sea View Inn's resident Mocking Bird.

Take coffee to the wide porch overlooking the Atlantic to look for Ospreys fishing in the sea, Painted Buntings and Ground Doves in the dunes.

Walk out on Sea View's dock into the salt marsh to search for Egrets and Herons, resplendent in breeding plumage, and nestling Clapper Rails while listening to Red-Winged Blackbirds and BoatTailed Grackles as they announce breeding territories on Pawley's Island.

Admire wildflowers indigenous to coastal South Carolina with such evocative names as Passion Flower, Pitcher Plant, Atamasco Lily, Pipewort, Lizard's Tail and Glass-wort.
