Bluffton and the May River

The May River is one of Bluffton’s most beautiful amenities and offers a host of recreational opportunities. Beyond the impressive saltwater marsh views this remarkable tidal ecosystem is abundant with wildlife including a large population of Bottlenose Dolphins and a variety of birdlife.

From kayaking to sailing, from paddleboarding  to pontooning, water adventures await you on the May. The sand bar that appears at low tide is perfect for picnics and a quick frolic in the river. Fishing, shrimping, and crabbing are all fun activities for any family looking for outdoor Lowcountry adventure.  Eco tours are available through local kayak and ferry boat companies located in Bluffton and Hilton Head Island.
