Charleston Harbor, SC
Estuary in Charleston County, South Carolina. A Lowcountry estuary at the confluence of the Cooper, Ashley, and Wando rivers, framed by salt marsh, tidal creeks, and oyster bars. South Carolina's premier inshore fishery for redfish (red drum) and spotted seatrout year-round, with flounder, sheepshead, and black drum around structure. Flood-tide sight-fishing for tailing redfish is a signature draw.
