Adventure Golf all got top
ratings from my 6-year-old
nephew.
Other activities children
will enjoy include The
Coastal Discovery Museum
at Historic Honey Horn,
which is a hands-on expe
rience with local ecology
and history located on the
grounds of a former plan
tation; and The Sandbox:
An Interactive Children’s
Museum, which has activi
ties for infants to 8-year-
olds.
Our headquarters for our
long weekend was Comfort
Inn, located at 2 Tanglewood
Drive. The hotel offers a
full free breakfast each day,
with waffles, cereal, pastries,
toast, bagels, boiled eggs
and other items offered.
The hotel is located on six
acres of wooded land sur
rounded by three lagoons.
Huge turtles make these
lagoons home and you will
spot them throughout your
stay. Signs at the lagoon
caution you not to feed alli
gators but we didn’t see any
during our stay.
Comfort Inn is located
a short walk to Coligny
Square, a popular spot for
families, visitors and locals.
Restaurants, shops and beach
access can all be found here.
Beach umbrellas and chairs
are offered for rent.
We tried several restau
rants and found one that we
enjoyed so much that we
had dinner there two nights.
The Wreck is located at
Sea Pines near the popular
Salty Dog Cafe. We found
the same menu and view
as Salty Dog Cafe but no
wait to dine. The oysters and
shrimp were wonderful, and
the kids menu was a favorite
with the younger ones in our
group.
Another night we tried
Red Fish, which offers fine
dining in elegant surround
ings. The tuna and Kobe
beef burgers were both a
delight.
