Enjoy the
Warmth
Summer is coming upon us quickly and people are out and about enjoying the warm weather of the Lowcountry. One of the great things about living here is that there is so much to do during the summer. Besides the obvious (golfing and boating) the warm climate of Beaufort’s Lowcountry offers fishing, kayaking, and camping among other things. You can always spend a day picnicking at one of our many parks or at a local farm picking strawberries, blackberries and tomatoes. There are a number of farmers’ markets in the area that give us an opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of home grown summer vegetables.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. - John Muir
Looking for something a little closer to town? Spend a day on Bay Street shopping or just relaxing in a swing on Waterfront Park. Of course there is nothing better than a day at the beach, swimming, surfing, and walking along picking up sea shells. The Sands in Port Royal also offers up the opportunity to find sharks teeth as well as sea shells. The most important thing is that you take the time to stop and enjoy the warmth and comfort of the Lowcountry. This is a truly beautiful and serene area and the climate here is ideal for outdoor activities that bring people closer together, and create wonderful memories of great times.

Be it in a public or private campsite, the whole family should be prepared to make the camping experience both fun and safe. Here are a number of safety tips for happy go campers: - First aid kit first! Remember to be prepared for cuts, bee stings and allergic reactions. Bring antiseptic, bug sprays and insect repellents, pain relievers and if possible snake bite kit. - Don’t forget essential supplies like flashlight, knife, whistle, fire starter, sunscreen, clothing and food.
other fuel-burning equipment near the fire. Do not use heating devices or candles inside the tent. Flashlights or battery-powered lights are preferred. - Build your tent on a safe spot. Keep it at a safe distance from the campfire. - Dispose of your garbage properly. Your trash could attract animals to your camp. - Wear light-colored clothing and do not wear any cologne or perfume so as not to attract stinging insects. Be calm when insects approach, use a brushing motion to drive them away. - Familiarize yourself with the plants surrounding the campsite. In case you come in contact with a poisonous plant, rinse the part with water immediately. Most of the times, calamine lotion is usually advised to be put on the affected areas.
- Know the weather report before leaving. Make sure the weather is good for camping. If the weather is uncertain make sure you’ll have shelter in case of heavy rain.
- Remember good hygiene is essential. Wash you hands before and after toileting and food handling. Be aware that a lot of microorganisms are present in the area.
- Plan your trip before going to the actual campsite. Check on weather you are going to setup a tent or what activities you wish to do. This will prepare you with what the things you would need to bring and need to know.
Camping is just one of the activities the whole family can do. It can also be a form of exercise at any age. Bonding with nature would seem to be a great idea.
- Check for all possible hazards in the campsite. Inspect the campsite. Check the terrain and look for beehives or possible poisonous plants.
However, one must be prepared for potential events that are unexpected to happen. Combat these events through thorough preparation. Plan ahead and know the ABC’s of camping.
- Be fire safe. Usually, campsites have fire rings where you can build your fire. Make sure that no

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.
