Private Cruise to Deveaux Bank on the “ Pirate Lady ” for 12
It ’ s not every day that a new-to-science bird migration spectacle is discovered . It ’ s even more unexpected that tens of thousands of migrating shorebirds have been discovered roosting at night on Deveaux Bank , a small barrier island a stone ’ s throw from Kiawah and Seabrook .
These recently discovered visitors are whimbrels , a large striking shorebird which winters on the coasts of South American , then flies thousands of miles north to nest and raise young in the subarctic regions of Canada and Alaska . They typically make just one stop along the way to rest and feed , and for over 20,000 of these birds , that stop is Deveaux Bank .
Step onboard the “ Pirate Lady ” with up to 12 of your family or friends for the unique opportunity to cruise to Deveaux Bank with one of Kiawah Resort ’ s own naturalists . Your birding expert will point out the many shorebirds that flock there : Sandwich terns , royal terns , herons , egrets , American oystercatchers , brown pelicans , piping plovers and whimbrels . Don ’ t forget to bring your camera !
Restrictions : Not available during holiday weeks . Subject to availability . Tide dependent . Gratuity not included . Expires November 7 , 2022 .
