Dolphin tours and other nature-oriented boat tours are a fun activity on warm days, and activities such as kayak excursions or paddle boarding are usually on offer too.

Outdoor activities such as hiking at Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, walks on the beach, golfing, biking and so on should also be pleasant on sunny February days. On cooler or rainy days, nearby Bluffton, Beaufort and Savannah offer a wide variety of indoor attractions and other sights that don’t depend too much upon the weather.
