explore by sea…

Test out your sea legs by experiencing Mount Pleasant from a unique perspective. Hop on a stand-up paddleboard or kayak your way around the local waterways.

…or By Land

Land lovers need not worry! If the seas are too rough, our walking and biking trails are just as welcoming. Stroll through varying landscapes, from the woodlands to the marshes. Some trails are friendly for leashed pets – just remember to take nothing but photos and leave nothing but pawprints!
