This easy, picturesque walk offers stunning views of Charleston Harbor and the Ravenel Bridge while exploring a rich salt marsh habitat. Pitt Street is a hotspot for birdlife, with over 245 species recorded. Depending on the season, you may see Clapper Rails, Osprey, Egrets, Herons, shorebirds, and a variety of marsh specialists.
