Deveaux Bank is a 215-acre bird sanctuary on a sandy horseshoe-shaped sand island at the entrance to the North Edisto River in South Carolina's Charleston County. It is located between Edisto and Seabrook Islands off the Atlantic coast. It is very low, with an average elevation of only 3 feet. It has almost 3 miles of sandy beaches on its three sides and on the fourth side is a tidal lagoon, facing the mainland. The island’s shape constantly changes with the currents and tides. It is home to thousands of birds and is managed and protected by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The island is very popular with kayakers, since it is common to encounter bottlenose dolphins, bonnethead sharks, and blue crabs while cruising around the island. Camping is not allowed.
