Sitting unobtrusively in Lake Murray is tiny Bomb Island (also known as Lunch Island and Doolittle Island), a summer roosting ground for hundreds of thousands of purple martins. For a couple of months, the vibrantly colored birds arrive nightly on the 12-acre island for a good night's rest. Lake Murray Tours offers twice-weekly cruises out to the island, which is the largest purple martin sanctuary in the country.
