You could travel around the world and never see more spectacular beaches. Wide and welcoming, they are shell-covered and stretch for miles. And no matter the season, they never seem crowded. But the ocean is only the beginning. All around you are are freshwater lagoons and ponds, meandering tidal creeks, acres of golden marshlands, fish-filled channels and lush maritime forests. In fact, DeBordieu is surrounded by undisturbed forests and wildlife preserves, including 600 acres given to Clemson University for the study and protection of this unique habitat. And within Debordieu, less than half of its 2,700 acres are zoned for homesites and villas. So it’s never a surprise to catch all sorts of wildlife roaming freely throughout the community.
