!Another Special Event Alert!

Join the South Carolina Aquarium and Barrier Island Eco Tours on November 14, 2026, from 1:30–6:00 p.m. for a special Capers Island cleanup adventure! We’ll depart from Isle of Palms Marina and cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway toward Capers Island, keeping an eye out for dolphins and other wildlife along the way. This cleanup will focus on the back side of the island, which is the marsh side. This is where marine debris often collects during king tides. After arriving by boat, we’ll explore the forest and marsh edges, collecting debris in areas that are less accessible and don’t receive as much cleanup attention. Be prepared to get a little muddy! Easier walking alternatives will be available for those who need them.

After lending a hand to our coastal environment, we’ll head to the beach to enjoy a well-deserved oyster roast, homemade chili with all the fixings, and a beach fire. On the return trip, we’ll make a pit stop at a local oyster bed to shuck fresh oysters right off the bank before enjoying a beautiful sunset cruise back to the marina, weather permitting. Proceeds from this special event support the South Carolina Aquarium’s conservation efforts! Participants should bring gloves, wear boots, long pants, and long sleeves, and consider packing an extra pair of shoes to change into after the cleanup. Feel free to bring a small personal cooler with any additional food or drinks!
