The Hunting Island lagoon is the perfect spot for those who want to get away from the Atlantic surf and still be near the water. A lot of people just go there for the nature or fishing. The lagoon is home to hundreds of bird and other wildlife species. Sightings of raccoon, whitetail deer, blue heron, egret, pelican, sand piper, king fisher and others are common events. Fishing for spots, whiting, trout, bass and puppy drum is popular at the lagoon, as well as crabbing and shrimping. If you have never done any salt water fishing or crabbing, check out Beaufort USA.com. It has a full section on the "how to do" of all the types of fishing and crabbing in this area. The lagoon is a perfect spot for photography as the bird life is plentiful and used to human activity. Some people prefer to get a rubber raft and just float around. The lagoon is well protected from the wind and is very peaceful. It's the quiet side of the beach. |
