Sandy Island Kayak Tour
9:00 pm to 12:00 pm
(Closed group tour for Coastal Carolina University Outdoor Recreation Class and Recreation and Sport Management Club.)

Guided kayak tour across the Waccamaw River to Sandy Island. Meet at the upper parking lot, Wacca Wache Landing in Murrells Inlet. Contact Dr. Alan Case at 902-1622 to make required advance reservations.

From the parking lot, we will take you in our van a quarter mile down to Wacca Wache Landing. After a brief safety talk and paddling instruction, we will launch our kayaks and paddle the creeks and canals of the Waccamaw River to Sandy Island, the largest undeveloped fresh water island on the East Coast and home to an indigenous population descended from plantation slaves. We will walk about the preserve's diverse 9000 acres of scrub oak sand ridges, Carolina Bays, long leaf yellow pine forests that provide habitat for fox and bobcats, deer, black bears, migratory ducks, and endangered red cockaded woodpeckers.
