After 16 incredible years of sharing adventures in the Lowcountry, it’s time to say goodbye.
I’m retiring from retail — which means Higher Ground Outfitters will be closing its doors for good.
What began as a passion for kayaking, paddleboarding, camping, hiking, and exploring Beaufort’s marshes, creeks, and trails turned into so much more: a gathering spot for locals and visitors, endless stories, lessons, tours, gear that lasts, and friendships that mean the world.
You made Higher Ground special — thank you for every visit, every rental, every sunrise paddle, every “just stopping by to chat” moment. You’ve been the heart of this place.
I would also like to thank my incredible employees I could not have done it without you.
Closing details:
• Final day open: May 31st or until we sell out.
• Location: 95 Factory Creek Ct, Beaufort, SC 29907
• Hours (until closing): Mon–Sat 10 AM–6 PM | Sun 1–4 PM
We’re running a big retirement & store-closing sale right now — deep discounts on kayaks, SUPs, paddles, camping gear, apparel, footwear, and more. Come grab what you need while it lasts!
The Lowcountry’s beauty and spirit of adventure aren’t going anywhere — keep getting out there, stay safe on the water, respect our marshes and trails, and make more memories.
It’s been an absolute honor serving you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Adventure awaits — go find it! 🌊🏞️🛶
