Marshes on both sides of the causeway bridge. One can see how large the marsh is that separates the main island from Botany Bay Island where the contraband colony was located.

The Beach

It’s a $425 fine if you remove anything from the island. I imagine that is why people put the shells on the petrified trees.

The clump of trees are at the end of the island. The smaller looking trees which are in the distance are on Seabrook Island.

Guided beach tours Botany Bay Island. A docent leads a tour of the island at the times listed but its focus is on the marsh. It doesn’t cover anything historical. I had to be careful about the timing of this trip because the causeway is underwater at high tide and I could get trapped on the island. I started out with some trepidation about an hour prior to the listed low tide and walked out to the island which is a short walk and then up the shore to the north about 1.5 miles before I turned around.
