The Spa on Port Royal Sound was built before there were building restrictions regarding distance from the water. As a result, the complex is extraordinarily close to the Sound. (FYI-Low tide does go out about 1/2 a mile.) The marsh grass has grown in behind the breakwater rocks on our beach, at the same time, a sandbar in front of the rocks has been built up and a proper beachfront has developed. It's quite a beautiful natural phenomenon and has provided us with 2 beaches. You have to see it to understand, but if you prefer a more regular beach, Mitchellville Beach is just a few hundred feet to the left of the property for those requiring a more "proper" beach experience.

The complex is flanked by two public parks laden with Spanish moss-covered live oaks and resides at the end of a dead-end road. There is little to no traffic noise, except the occasional airplane taking off or landing at the small airport nearby. We enjoy an abundance of wildlife and embrace the opportunity to go fishing, crabbing, shrimping, and clamming. You will encounter other amazing wildlife including dolphins, eagles, hammerhead sharks, stingrays along with the more common egrets, ravens, jellyfish, crabs, and horseshoe crabs. Amateur and professional photographers alike enjoy spectacular sunsets, cloud formations, storm fronts, rainbows, etc. with amazing 360-degree views (especially at low tide when you can walk way out.)
