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. To contact Captain Smiley Inshore Fishing Charters call 843-361- 7445 or visit his website at http://www.captainsmileyfishingcharters.com/. You can also find info on his facebook fanpage.

Ice Cream – My favorite and most inexpensive thing to do in the Myrtle Beach Area is get ice cream with the family! You will definitely find that Sugar Shack on Main in North Myrtle Beach has the best ice cream & prices around. They also have a picture face board and a giant cow out front for entertainment. Also, being on Main Street in the Ocean Drive section of North Myrtle Beach allows for other stuff to do. Check out the new shop with surf gear and clothing Mangoes and Marley or the new Hot Diggity Grill for hamburgers, hot dogs & more!
Horseback riding is always fun and especially when you can ride on your very own private beach! You have to stop at Inlet Point Plantation. They also have Waterway trail rides, pony rides and UTV excursions. Saddle up and have a blast!
If horses aren’t your thing but you still like to be adventurous then you have got to check out Great Escapes Kayak Expeditions. On this tour you get to explore a few remaining parcels of wilderness. Roll down the Waccamaw River or visit Waites Island. They also offer camping & cat fishing trips.
If you like to fish then you have to check out Shallow Minded Inshore Charters with Capt. Mark Dickson. Everything is provided! All you need to bring is what you want to eat and drink.
After all this action you need to capture the memories. Family beach portraits are a great way to do that. Angela Fellenz Photography is one of the best around. You are guaranteed to have beautiful results.
