Favorite Pastimes
Here in the Lowcountry
you might notice that the locals never
seem to be bored. Well here at Beachside
we are letting the secrets to this fun
inspired lifestyle out. Here are a few
of our suggestions as reflected by Ken
Burger’s article in the Post and
Courier.
This article, written
by Ken Burger truly displays the different
pastimes of local Charlestonian’s and regular Isle
of Palm vacation goers. The title, “There’s
never nothing to do around here” pokes
fun at “those types of people” who
just can’t get out and have a good
time! If you have any questions involving
these activities while on your trip do
not hesitate to call and Beachside Vacations
will make sure to assist you in any way
possible!
