Maritime Center
Need Directions?
The Port Royal Sound Foundation offices and Maritime Center are centrally located in Beaufort County, where S.C. 170 crosses the Chechessee River. Take the right exit from either direction at the bridge. Most importantly drive safe!
More Info
The Port Royal Sound Foundation renovated the former Lemon Island Marina to establish the Maritime Center, an engaging and exciting educational experience for all. The Maritime Center opened in November 2014 and features exhibits, live animals and indoor/outdoor hands-on educational opportunities where visitors can learn about the Port Royal Sound. It is a unique experience for the whole family!
