| Shem Creek dolphin sighting. |
Dolphin Spotting - Oh man, dolphins are my favorite! My friends from New York are sick of hearing about dolphins. I can’t explain it, but it never gets old. We saw them a lot throughout the summer and wondered if we would end up just getting used to them, but by October sightings were sparse. It’s early February now and we’ve seen them start popping up again. . .excites me every time. So far the best place that we have discovered to watch dolphins close up is on the pier at Red’s Ice House (Shem Creek). Shem Creek Park recently opened on the opposite side of the creek and should be a better place for spotting dolphins.

| Sullivan's Island sandbar where dolphins wander. |
Our favorite dolphin sightings have happened on Sullivan’s Island around high tide. There is a huge sandbar that creates a large pool between the surf and the sand that dolphins occasionally wander into. It starts around station 22 ½ and continues on past station 30 into Breach Inlet. It’s an amazing experience that we hope to catch on camera this summer. We spotted dolphins on Folly Beach this Thanksgiving weekend while my parents were visiting from Long Island. We were not expecting to see them so late in the year, so it was such a treat to spot a few just 50 feet off of the shore.
Do you enjoy spotting dolphins too? Do you have a favorite spot to see dolphins? Or maybe you couldn't care less about dolphins. What’s you’re favorite D activity of the Charleston Spring/Summer?
