It's nice to be able to go home clean from the sand. The day we went the beach wasn't crowded, the sand was nice and soft especially when walking barefoot. This is a must visit spot!

It seems after much frustration, they did something different this year and had openings so I booked over thanksgiving. I planned to leave a bit earlier but we decided to leave closer to 5 and what would normally be a 30-40 min drive was about an hour and a half. The traffic was backed up, which is no surprise but there is likely improvements that can be done here-- like checking tickets at gates rather than another option. We also had a handicap decal but no one directed where it would be, I guess we had to ask or notify sooner. Once we got through the gates, we were moving. Parking was quite a bit away which was challenging for my mom who has some hip issues. We got in, no issue and I was concerned about making it all the way through but there's plenty of time to slow down and enjoy. The had hot chocolate which was the perfect touch of a freeezing night, as well as alcoholic options. The indoor train exhibition is also a must see! Overall, I would highly recommend, it was absolutely beautiful and an experience to ring in the holidays. Get there early to enjoy and make sure to check for tickets and follow for when they go on sale!

The entire experience was so well organized, and everyone working there was incredibly kind and helpful. Walking through the lights was mesmerizing. The level of dedication and hard work that goes into putting something like this together really shows.

It's such a special experience and truly something people of all ages can enjoy. So grateful we got to experience it--absolutely worth it and something I'll never forget.

I had an easier time paddling down the river than I thought. At 73, I decided to do a tandem kayak because I wasn't sure I could paddle by myself, but next time I think I'll choose a single. The scenery going down the Waccamaw River was amazing. We saw birds (an Osprey nest was the highlight), a few alligators on the bank, turtles, thousand-year-old moss-covered Cypress trees, water lilies that had begun to bloom, and all kinds of greenery. The two guides we had were very helpful and knowledgeable, and even shared a few stories about the river's history. The camaraderie with the guys made the trip a great experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in a fun time on the beautiful Waccamaw.

At that point , the sun was just coming up over the horizon and was beautiful , bouncing off the water. I could see that the crew was working feverishly to make sure everything was prepared for the half day sea bass cruise , we were about to take. After retrieving our tickets from the upstairs gift shop, my son and I anxiously awaited the loading of the vessel. Once on the ship , we chose our location at the stern. I can see that the rods were already waiting and rigged up for the days festivities. It was delightful that the crew welcomed us on the vessel with smiles and a hearty welcome aboard! We were there told to just sit back and relax while they handled unsecuring lines as well as making sure all the passengers were accommodated. We then quickly went out of the harbor waving at everyone we passed. Once we left the harbor it was an hour long trip around fifteen to twenty miles into the blue horizon. When we arrived at our location, we were provided squid for bait. I brought some medium shrimp as well so as to provide a variety for the daily catch. Several seabass and blues were caught, with the seabasa being measured per the law. Most were found to be undersized so they were returned to grow for a future trip. When we started fishing we were offered entry into a raffle for a free future trip ($2) so I handed the mate my money and awaited the fate. Throughout the time , we would catch fish and several of the mates would be awesome and remove the fish from the hook as well as helping to untangle lines. At the end of the day , my son got the biggest fish so we were so excited for him. We tipped the crew and watched one of them even clean our fish for us. It was a great trip , and we look so forward to coming back. The crew did an amazing job making this memorable moment awesome for this dad and his son. We also enjoyed talking to crew member Lucas while the boat was being docked.
