With 20,000-acres of land and 32 miles of waterfront at our fingertips, our natural surroundings are what make Montage Palmetto Bluff truly unique. As ambassadors of the environment, our Naturalist will have guests putting their feet to the trails on guided tours, getting back in touch with nature, and never missing another wildlife sighting ever again.
Offerings available change seasonally, reach out to our concierge or experience planners for events during your stay.
On the Water
Whether you’re looking for a reel good time or just a scenic ride through the Coastal Carolina marshlands, you’ll be out on the water early and often at Palmetto Bluff. For anglers – casting for largemouth bass in the freshwater ponds, fly-fishing for redfish in the salt marsh flats, trolling for trophies in the depths of the Atlantic. Whether you catch and release or bring your catch back to be cooked that evening, you’ll be thrilled to experience an array of fishing at its finest.
Of course, the smooth and scenic waterways provide plenty of entertainment for those who aren’t inclined to bait the hook. You’ve never truly experienced a Lowcountry sunrise or sunset until you’ve seen one from a kayak or canoe, and the miles of water trails make for a paddler’s paradise. Palmetto Bluff offers plenty of group watercraft adventure and private charters – a truly amazing way to experience the Carolina waters.
These are just a few of the activities that can be experienced on the waters in and around Palmetto Bluff:
- Boat tours to historic Daufuskie Island
- Boat tours to local beaches
- Full and half days on the water tubing and skiing
- Scenic dolphin tours
- Salt-water fishing
- Fresh-water fishing
- Paddleboarding
Palmetto Bluff Shooting Club
Shooting sports have been a long-standing tradition on Palmetto Bluff for years, if not centuries. The Palmetto Bluff Shooting Club invites you into the world of shotgun shooting. Learn to shoot clay targets on one of the elevated 5-Stands, or hone your advanced skills on the unique sporting clay courses winding through an expansive 120-acre facility. If you are looking for fun for the whole family, come enjoy the Archery Range, .22 Rifle Range, and Axe Throwing Range. World-Class instruction is provided by National Sporting Clays Association Certified Instructors. The Shooting Club is an ideal experience for those who are looking to try something new, and for advanced shooters looking to improve their abilities.
Wilson Lawn & Racquet Club
This expansive club facility includes eight Har-Tru tennis courts with four courtside shelters, two bocce courts, six pickleball courts, one basketball court and a well-equipped pro shop and pavilion. Healthy populations of pine and live oak provide shade and ambiance, while two lighted, exhibition-size courts are home to plenty of excitement, day and night. Clinics, lessons and tournaments complete the experience, so your whole family can look forward to the next big court appearance when playing tennis or pickleball at Palmetto Bluff.
Explore the Bluff
Exploring the Bluff is a breeze with options that encourage being outdoors and healthy exercise.
Headed to Moreland for a Brown Bag Lunch Lecture or hot sandwich at Canteen? Hop on bicycles and follow the River Road trail to wind deep through Palmetto Bluff’s breathtaking maritime forest. Elegantly dressed and headed to a birthday celebration with your family and friends? Climb in a comfortable four-seater golf cart for a quick ride. If neither suit your need for speed or exploration beyond the Bluff, enjoy a complimentary driving experience in a Cadillac.
Fitness & Pools
Our fitness facilities let you stay connected to your physical conditioning far from your daily routine. The River House Pool proves ideal for swimming laps or leisurely lounging. At the Inn, the Family Pool and Adult Pool provide additional options for aquatic relaxation or exercise.
Our state-of-the-art Fitness Center with floor-to-ceiling windows and high-end cardio and strength-training equipment makes your workout a breeze. And a welcoming movement studio for spinning, yoga and Pilates classes encourages you to break a sweat.

Holidays bring a wealth of activity to the resort. Friends and family gather year after year celebrating with classic traditions and creating new ones. Property-wide team scavenger hunts across the twenty thousand acres, themed parades along the Village Green, 5k runs, poolside celebrations and so many more activities are a part of the experience of Palmetto Bluff. The greatest gift of all are the memories created.
Palmetto Bluff Conservancy
The Palmetto Bluff Conservancy is dedicated to increasing our understanding of the natural and cultural environment of the Lowcountry.
Resort guests may participate in research, tour with the Conservancy or attend monthly lectures.
From biological and archaeological studies by PhD-level scientists to the “citizen science” bluebird survey, the Conservancy team is actively involved in a number of research initiatives at the Bluff. Current projects include surveys of alligator, turtle, white-tailed deer and bird populations, monitoring of bald eagle nests, a study of cavity-nest use and correlation with habitat, and the analysis of artifacts from the antebellum era.
