About This Access Site
Capers Boat Ramp provides access to Capers Creek in Beaufort County's coastal salt marsh region. The ramp is located at the end of a narrow road off Bridgewood Road, with informal parallel parking along the access road. This is a quiet, remote launching point that attracts paddleboarders and kayakers exploring the tidal creek system and nearby Capers Island.

Paddlers should be prepared for tidal conditions typical of South Carolina's Lowcountry—consult tide tables before launching, as the shallow salt marsh waters can present grounding hazards. If you're planning to access Capers Island, note that it is only reachable by boat; anchoring is available at the dock on Capers Inlet (Marker 99 on the Intracoastal Waterway). Bring navigational charts for this area and plan your trip around favorable tides. The proximity to Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge and Reconstruction Era National Historical Park offers opportunities for scenic paddling and exploration of this historically rich region.
