Bomb Island, South Carolina
“Bomb Island on Lake Murray each spring and summer is the home of a very unusual event. Each year thousands of Purple Martins return to this island to roost for the summer. The island has been declared a bird sanctuary and it is quite a sight to watch these birds return to Bomb Island each day around sunset. ”
Can you immagine just how gorgeous that island has to be every evening! And apparently South Carolina has a lot to offer when it comes to checking out the birds of the region!

Do you know of the organization that is hosting a cruise to Bomb Island this Wednesday 7/30 night? We would like to get 4 tickets.
Thank you,
