Secret Spots

The Lowcountry is home to some of the most unique and secret outdoor spots to explore. Whether it‘s a hidden beach tucked away at Hunting Island State Park, or a secret fishing hole in the ACE Basin, the Lowcountry has something for everyone. For those looking for a more adventurous experience, the many creeks and marshes located in the area offer kayaking, canoeing, and other water activities. For those looking for some peace and quiet, there are plenty of trails in the Francis Marion National Forest, or you can explore the many secluded islands off the coast. No matter what you‘re looking for, Beaufort County and the surrounding areas are sure to have a secret outdoor spot just waiting to be explored.
