Capers Island Heritage Preserve

My scout troop camped there prob 45 years ago. Good time. I remember walking down the beach a long way only to come across a dead animal and some scary looking tracks. We ran back to the camp. Didnt need to see anymore

Whether you go by boat or by ferry, explore Bulls Bay and the surrounding islands. We spotted what looks like working houses on a hammock island off of Capers. Definitely remember your bug spray, UPF clothing, SPF sunscreen, water and food when you go to have a beach or island exploring day. Keep an eye on the tide as it will change quickly. Be sure to bring closed toe shoes when exploring the islands as you may come across oyster beds. You’ll find all sorts of shells, egg casings, horseshoe crabs, sand dollars and more! Be sure to not disturb any turtle or shore bird nesting grounds. Take the trash and leave the sea shell treasure finds for the next lucky visitor to find. Bring an identification chart to learn more about the flora, shore fowl, and sea critters.

This island is only accessible by personal watercraft. (No ferries provided by SCDNR) Great time camping in the dunes on this completely privative island. We loved not having access to amenities like water, electricity- makes for peaceful camping(with a permit from SCDNR of course)!

Beautiful sunsets out here! It’s a natural beach, make sure to pick up after yourself. If you want to start a fire and camp you’ll need to make a reservation, it was free.

Just beautiful and calming.
