<\/a>Hurricane Arthur has left us and we\u2019ve got a sunny sky and beautiful beach waiting for you. It\u2019s a perfect day to go shell hunting after the storm or just lounge around the beach. In fact, here is our list of three things you should do today.<\/p>\nHunt for Seashells<\/h4>\n
The absolute best time to find beautiful seashells is right after a storm. The churning waves push a lot of whole shells up on the beach and shifting sand reveal even more. Be sure to bring along a bag to make it easier to carry them all. Beach Mart<\/a> has some nifty seashell bags that are perfect.<\/p>\n The clear skies make it a perfect day to lounge around the beach or take a walk (while hunting seashells of course). Put on plenty of sunscreen to protect your skin and using a beach umbrella helps too. If you didn’t buy an umbrella yet, you can always rent one for your visit from our friends at Beach Fun Rentals<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now remember, fireworks are officially <\/a>banned by the Town of\u00a0Holden Beach<\/a> except for sparklers. With that said, there are usually some families in the area that set them off either on the island or\u00a0on the mainland. Rumor has it, there will be a good show on the island around 9pm tonight… but you didn’t hear that from us. ::wink wink::<\/p>\n What are you going to be doing today for Independence Day?
