2024 Southeast Shorebird Festival - Kiawah Island Events

2024 Logo

The 2024 Southeast Shorebird Festival saw many changes from the Inaugural 2023 Sea Island Shorebird Festival. (including a name change) But one similarity it that the Festival kicked off at The Sandcastle meeting facility on Kiawah Island, where birders could meet and greet before going on field trips later in the week. The festival also expanded into the nearby and neighboring state of Georgia, offering tours at Tybee Island and St. Mary's Island. The festival also expanded to the North, with a field trip to Santee Coastal WMA and a boat ride trip up at Murrell's Inlet.
