Discover Hobcaw & Yawkey: Historic and Natural Gems in Coastal South Carolina

In celebration of World Oceans Day, this episode of Big Blend Radio’s "Jo Goes Everywhere!" travel podcast with writer and photographer Jo Clark explores the coastal wonders of Georgetown County, South Carolina, home to Winyah Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and two incredible natural and historic treasures: Hobcaw Barony and the Yawkey Wildlife Center.

Located in the greater Myrtle Beach area, these lands reflect a unique convergence of history, nature, and conservation. Learn about the legacy of Belle Baruch, the story of Francis Marion “The Swamp Fox,” and how local agriculture like Carolina Gold Rice shaped the region. Dive into discussions about the importance of estuaries and wetlands, endangered bird recovery, and the efforts to preserve biodiversity along the coast.

This episode honors the critical role that coastal ecosystems and conservation initiatives play in protecting our oceans and planet.
