Just across St. Helena Sound lies Otter Island, a wonderful part of the ACE Basin and a naturalists' and photographers' paradise. The island is protected by the Department of Natural Resources. It is part of the St. Helena Sound Heritage Preserve and Wildlife Management Area. Enjoy 2.5 hours on this deserted island in the heart of the ACE Basin (boat ride is 15 minutes each way for a total of 3 hours). You are likely to see bottle nosed dolphins on the boat trip over and back. Teeming with birds, this is a great place to find sand dollars or whelks. Some folks have even found WWII artifacts!
