Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
North Bull Island, part of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge in South Carolina, offers visitors a chance to engage with unspoiled nature across its 5,000 acres. The island is predominantly composed of salt marshes, tidal creeks, and maritime forests, hosting a variety of flora and fauna. It is part of an essential habitat for migratory birds and supports an impressive array of wildlife, including loggerhead sea turtles, which nest on its beaches. The history of the area is closely tied to its role in the conservation of endangered species and its historical use for agriculture by early settlers. Recreational opportunities abound here, with hiking, bird watching, and kayaking providing unique ways to experience its natural beauty. Visitors are often captivated by the driftwood-strewn Boneyard Beach and can explore the remains of an old lodge site, evoking the island's past human history.
