• Natuur

  Loggerhead nesting

  1 mei – 31 oktNestelende schildpadden

  A couple of hundred loggerhead nests a season, laid from May and hatching through October. A volunteer patrol walks the twelve miles of beach at first light marking the new ones.

• Regel

  Beachfront lights-out rule

  1 mei – 31 okt

  Any light visible from the sand has to be shielded or off between 10pm and 6am through nesting season, which is why oceanfront rentals come with blackout blinds and no torches on the beach after dark. Bron ↗

  Memorial Day weekend

  23–25 meiNationale feestdagDrukBoek vroeg

  Memorial Day, the last Monday of May, opens the summer travel season: over the long weekend campsites and lodging book out, roads are slow, and parking at the most popular spots fills early in the day. Bron ↗

Topdrukte — School-holiday season, Summer break in Verenigde Staten

• Seizoen

  Sea warm enough

  1 jun – 10 okt · meestal

  The Atlantic here is swimmable from June and stays that way well past Labor Day. What changes in early autumn is the number of people on the sand, not the water.

• Risico

  Atlantic hurricane season

  1 jun – 30 nov

  Direct hits on this stretch of the South Carolina coast are rare, but the island is flat, low and reached by one causeway, so evacuation orders come early and often. September is the month that matters. Bron ↗

• Seizoen

  School-holiday season

  5 jun – 20 augSchoolvakantiesDrukBoek vroeg

  The island runs on the school calendar: bike paths busy by nine, beach clubs full, and rentals let by the week from Saturday to Saturday, which is why every road on and off jams on the same morning.
