Deveaux Bank is a horseshoe-shaped sand spit island encompassing a 215 acre bird sanctuary at the mouth of the North Edisto River in Charleston County, South Carolina. It is located on the Atlantic Coast between Edisto Island, South Carolina and Seabrook Island, South Carolina. It's average elevation is three feet. It has approximately 2.75 miles of sandy beaches on three sides (some of which are completely submerged at high tide) and a tidal lagoon on the side facing the mainland. ==History== Deveaux bank was first documented in 1921 and by the 1930s was an established seabird rookery. During World War II, Deveaux Bank was used as a bombing range. The bank was completely submerged by Hurricane David in 1979 and tidal shifts that followed the next spring. Over the next several years the island continued to rebuild as sand was deposited by currents.
