Sea Pines is a beautiful place to visit, especially on foot or by bicycle. There's an abundance of wildlife (birds, deer and even an alligator or two). A map offers guidance through the winding preserve and it's a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Great uncrowded preserve combining marshes, forests, lakes with abundance of water birds and osprey, alligators. It also has a beautiful and colorful flower field full of poppies, cornflowers, baby-blue-eyes. You can walk or bike. Be prepared to spend 2-4 hours.

A special permit available at the front gate allows you to fish a well stocked lake.

I went with a few adults, 2 kids, and 2 teenagers. I probably would not recommend this for little kids unless you have a stroller that can handle off-roading on dirt paths. We went in the morning, around 10, and saw a bunch of baby alligators sunning themselves on a bank, and several turtles. We didn't see any birds in... More
