We are world famous for our miles and miles of gorgeous sand and clean beaches. Our beaches are also home to numerous types of marine life who depend on us to preserve their fragile ecosystem. As the tourist season is quickly approaching it is the responsibility of everyone, tourists and locals alike to keep the beach clean and free of debris that is not only unsightly but also poses a threat to the multitudes of birds, sea turtles and other sea creatures who call our beaches home.
If we all pitch in, we can keep our beaches clean and free from any trash that may be left behind, and avoid any potential damage to our precious marine life.
Here are some tips that will keep our beaches beautiful and safe for everyone:
*If you carry it in, carry it out. Please do not leave trash on the beach.
*If you see some trash that someone else left behind be kind and pick it up.
*Respect wildlife and plants.
*Please don’t walk on the dunes. They help prevent erosion.
*Always clean up after your pets
Did You Know?
Cigarette butts are made from synthetic materials and take at least five years to break down! Please pick them up and dispose of them as you would any other garbage on our beaches.

Yesterday I got to go fishing with Captain Smiley’s Inshore Fishing Charters out of Little River, SC. He books up fast so you really need to schedule in advance. You can request a trip online too. If your not into fishing you can try one of his sightseeing / eco tours . On this trip I was able to reel in a 30″ Red Fish. That is Patrick Kelly aka “Captain Smiley” and myself in the picture to the left with my newly caught fish. We threw him back into the water for others to enjoy. I really had a great time and know you & your family will not be disappointed if you choose this adventure. His boat leaves out of Cricket Cove Marina in Little River, SC. After your fishing adventure you can check out Snooky’s Restaurant & Tiki Bar at the marina. I suggest the Coastal Burger. Chef Greg creates some really delicious daily specials too!
To enjoy your trip bring your own personal items such as food and drink, hats, sunscreen, jacket & rain gear…All fishing equipment and related fishing items will be provided.
