What is the Marsh to Breakers Trail?

This world class 1.2 mile loop allows walkers to experience a variety of Seabrook Island’s natural ecosystems in a very compact journey. You will enjoy maritime forest, hammock islands, interdune ponds, grasslands, shrub thicket, Kiawah River Estuary and the beauty of Seabrook Island’s North Beach — all within a compact trail just slightly over 1 mile. 

The trail has three surfaces: paved, woods, and boardwalk. After beginning on a paved surface, the trail moves into the woods where it is more rugged with uneven surfaces and tree roots. The final surface is boardwalk. The trail is easy and suitable for children and dogs on leash but not recommended for strollers, bikes or wheelchairs.

If the weather is good and you still have energy, there are 2 optional beach walk add-ons to this trail:

Cap’n Sams Loop: Walk to the shoreline at the end of BW1. Turn left. Walk as far as you can to the end of Captain Sams Spit and return. Add an additional 1.8 miles to your walk. If it’s low tide, you may see our amazing local dolphins strand feeding!

Deveaux Loop: Walk to the shoreline at the end of BW1. Turn right. Walk to the seawall at BW7 and return. Add an additional 2.5 miles to your walk.
