Are you planning a family get-together? It's a great way to reconnect with your extended family, catch up, and celebrate special occasions like a new baby or a recent marriage. Reunions also provide an opportunity for the older generation to share family stories, pass down recipes, and get to know the family's younger members.
How to Plan a Hammock Coast Family Reunion
Choose a Date
The first step in planning a reunion is to contact everyone. You'll want to choose a date that fits everyone's schedule. Many folks plan a summer reunion because of school breaks, but a fall break also makes a fantastic time for a family reunion.
Choose a Place
Why not plan a destination reunion? Pick a primo spot that's beautiful with something for every member of the family. Of course, the Hammock Coast fits the bill - from its rich, 300-year history to the spectacular Atlantic Ocean beaches to the charming towns with unique shops and restaurants serving mouth-watering fare. Our beach communities include Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach, Murrells Inlet, and DeBordieu Colony near historic Georgetown. All of our beaches offer wide stretches of sand and beautiful landscapes where it's impossible not to relax.
Plan Fun Activities
A multi-day reunion in a vacation destination makes entertaining easy. Book a fishing charter for the anglers in the family. Take the kids to see the animals at the Brookgreen Gardens Lowcountry Zoo. Book a Pirate Adventure aboard the Sea Gypsy, which operates out of Murrells Inlet. Put together a foursome for a round of golf at one of the coast's premier courses. This list of Hammock Coast activities is endless.
Stay in a Great Property
Keep the family all in one spot by booking an exclusive property like Longleaf Nature Preserve. This five-bedroom/five-bath property is a former riverfront rice-cultivation property near historic Georgetown that sleeps 14. It sits on 1,000 private acres, with miles of biking and running trails, spots for fresh and saltwater fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding, a fully equipped gym, archery range, amphitheater, and more.
Share Kitchen Duty
With a spacious kitchen and an outdoor grill, let everyone take turns preparing their favorite meals. Even if staying in separate properties, whip up a favorite dish in your rental's kitchen and share the love. And if you don't want to cook at all, Pawleys Island restaurants offer delicious menu items, including the area's famous Lowcountry fare.
Make New Memories
Sharing old photos and tales of growing up make a wonderful pastime. But family reunions offer a golden opportunity for the younger generation to make memories they'll share with their kids and grandkids. So, make memories that are sure to last.
