Take Care, Be Aware
Alligator Nesting Season Information
Being safe means always being aware of your surroundings. This applies to the wildlife that live among us.
Alligator nesting season has begun. The nests are constructed of vegetation and materials from the surrounding habitat which is sometimes difficult to see. We have added signs where we are aware of an active alligator nest to help bring it to your attention.
Female alligators are very protective of their eggs and young, so please be observant and keep a safe distance. To be safe while walking at dusk or after dark, always carry a flashlight.
If you encounter an alligator that you think is acting aggressively, immediately call the Sea Pines Security dispatch office at 843.671.7170 to report it's behavior and location.
