Warm
Summer Days
Summer is right around the corner and this is the ideal time to enjoy Beaufort County’s beautiful beaches. Many of us have been shedding those few extra pounds getting beach chairs and umbrellas ready in anticipation of warm summer days. Having grown up surfing in New England, one of the first places I explored and frequented in Beaufort was Hunting Island. Hunting Island offers one of the most unspoiled public beaches in the country with a state park and wildlife refuge that is beyond comparison. Mostly untouched, this is one of the last bastions of undeveloped coastal land.

In every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth. - Rachel Carson
Fripp Island and Harbor Island also offer beautiful beaches complete with towering green palmettos, white sand and warm Carolina waters. Many locals also soak up the sun and search for sharks teeth at the beach at the Sands in Port Royal. In addition to lazy days on the beach Hunting Island also offers nature trails, a fishing pier, a marsh boardwalk and wildlife observation points as well as a magnificent lighthouse. Enjoy the Lowcountry. Enjoy our beaches and don’t forget the suntan lotion!

Looking for something new and fun to do with your kids at the beach? Here are some suggestions that will be enjoyed by young and old alike. 1. Tic-tac-toe. Draw a big square in the sand. Find some shells or use extra sand to make an X or an O and have a tic-tac-toe contest.
line can grab a handful of water and race to the bucket and so on until the bucket is filled. The first team to fill the bucket wins!
2. Hand ball. Use a soft plastic ball roughly the size of a volleyball. Draw a large square in the sand, and divide the square into two, cutting a line down the center. One person starts by serving the ball with her hand, and the ball must cross over the line and hit the other person’s square. Once the ball bounces up, the receiving person must hit the ball back to the other person’s square. Works best on packed sand.
6. Beach darts. A large circle drawn in the sand serves as the target. Draw one large circle as the outside of the target area. For extra complexity, add smaller circles inside, with varying points assigned to each ring. Each player needs his own rock, seashell or other item. Having each person choose a different type of material makes it easier to keep track. The players take turns tossing the objects toward the target to score.
3. Treasure hunt. Bury a few items in the sand and give some clues about where to find them. Let the kids be treasure hunters.
7. Beach golf. You need a set of plastic clubs and golf balls. For putting, consider going down near the wet part of the beach where the ocean waves meet the soft sand. Dig the holes and swing away.
4. Beach bowling. Bring extra plastic cups and a ball to use for bowling when you visit the beach. Have your child fill the plastic cups with wet sand to weigh them down and arrange the cups in a triangle. Mark a line in the sand for the starting point and encourage your child to roll the ball toward the “pins” without crossing the line. You may also form pins by packing moist sand into the cups, turning the cups over and carefully pulling them upward. The result will be sand in the shape of the cup. 5. Bucket relay. Split up into two teams (adults can join in too! Just be sure there are an even number of adults on both sides and the little kids and bigger kids are split up evenly on each team to make it fair). Have each team form a line by the shore.Set up 2 small same size buckets about 10 feet from the water’s edge. The object of the game is for each team to carry the water in their bare hands to the bucket. Once a player fills the bucket then the next player in
8. Wave racing. This may be a familiar game when it comes to beach games for kids. Line up at a safe spot in the ocean where the waves start to come in and race to be the first to hit the beach. 9. Sand writing and drawing. Using play tools can be helpful in order to create pictures or writing your name. 10. Squirt ball. This beach game for kids is similar to a carnival game as water guns are required. You need two people with water guns completely filled. Draw goal lines in the sand behind each team and place a beach ball in the center of the lines. Each team tries to squirt the beach ball across the other team’s goal line, keeping the ball away from their own goal line and without using any hands or feet.

Town of Port Royal The town takes pride in its unique natural environment and its accessibility to that environment through its network of walking trails, community beach, boardwalk, and observation tower. Since Columbus discovered America in 1492, seven flags have flown over what is now the Town of Port Royal.
Union Church The Union Church, also known as, “The Free Church� was the first church to be built in the historic town of Port Royal. The land was donated by David F. Appleton and in 1878 cost around $1000 to build. It is currently eligible for recognition in the National Register of Historic Places and is being renovated jointly by both the Town of Port Royal and the Historic Port Royal Foundation. These two groups plan to use the renovated building as a cultural and community center.
Boardwalk Observation Tower At Port Royal Sands Beach you will find a waterside boardwalk leading to an observation tower. This tower provides fantastic views of Port Royal, Parris Island and the surrounding area. For tourists, this is a must see, is free to access and open year-round.
