Adventure Tips

Bring Suitable Sun Protection

South Carolina’s coastal sun can be intense; wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to stay safe on the water.

Dress for Comfortable Movement

Stay Hydrated

Bring plenty of water, especially for longer trips, as being on the water and in the sun can accelerate dehydration.
