Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge
A stretch of barrier islands and salt marshes that make up one of the nation’s most outstanding wildlife refuges. The 60,000-acre refuge is a true wilderness experience. A boat leaves several times a week from Garris Landing for a day-trip to Bulls Island. The Sewee Visitor Environmental Education Center at 5821 Hwy 17 N in Awendaw is operated jointly by Cape Romain and the Francis Marion National Forest. The center includes exhibits about the forest and refuge, a film, live red wolves and interpretive trails.
