Saint Helena Sound
Saint Helena Sound
is a coastal inlet in the
Lowcountry
region
South Carolina
, located along the
Atlantic Ocean
between
Beaufort
and
Colleton
counties. Located within the relatively undeveloped
ACE Basin
, the sound consists of the mouths of the
Ashepoo
,
Combahee
, and the south branch of the
Edisto
rivers, of which the ACE moniker derives from. The inlet is located east of
Beaufort
, between
Edisto Island
and
Hunting Island
. At its widest point, Saint Helena Sound is across. The
Intracoastal Waterway
crosses the sound. Much of lands surrounding St. Helena Sound has been preserved through the
St. Helena Sound Heritage Preserve
and the larger ACE Basin project.
