Beautiful South Carolina Trail Rides!
The Coastline ride is a guided, walking trail ride winding through portions of our farm before heading down the Avenue of the Oaks lined with centuries old Live Oak trees draped with Spanish Moss. You will travel past the Coffin Point Plantation House (circa 1801), and our guides will share a bit of local history as you travel back in time and envision in your mind what a working cotton plantation pre and post Civil Was was like. The ride then will transition to the beach area of Coffin Point where you will enjoy astounding views of the St. Helena Sound, Harbor Island and Edisto Island. Opportunities exist to see both Bottlenose dolphin as well as the Tamanend dolphin which is a recently discovered species unique to the Lowcountry area. Multiple species of shore birds, pelicans and seagulls are often visitors to this serene coastline area. While your horses take a quick break, our guides will capture this moment for you with a group picture. Please note: Total beach riding time is typically about 15-20 minutes of the total ride time.
