Georgetown, known for its coastal beauty and nearby beaches, offers visitors a unique outdoor experience: the Tom Yawkey Wildlife Center. Once owned by the former Boston Red Sox owner, this 24,000-acre property is a haven for wildlife, including alligators, birds, and nesting sea turtles. While most of the preserve is accessible only through guided tours provided by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, visitors can explore a portion of North Island by booking Rover Tours’ Shelling and Lighthouse Cruise.
