A Whole Week of Nothing To Do. How do you schedule it all?

Sigh. It's July 5th. You've come to Seabrook to escape to the beach, hang out at the pool, play a round of golf and now....now what?
Don't sigh. You're on vacation. There's plenty of nothing to do on quiet Seabrook Island, and we mean that in a good way. So, let's get started.
Have you tried exploring the island on bike? The trails are wonderful, the shaded streets are a relief from the mid-day heat and there's bicycle parking right by the clubhouse pool. One of our favorite trails is the Kiawah Island Parkway Bike Path. It takes you right to Freshfields Village and gives you an opportunity to take in an early morning bike ride, do some shopping, grab a cup of coffee, maybe even take in a lunch at Vincent's Soda Fountain. Check out J.McLaughlin while you're there. This seaside boutique features clothing for both men and women. Best of all, if you tell them Seabrook Exclusives sent you, you'll get a special treat!
Want to get out of the kitchen? We understand. You are on vacation, after all. There are plenty of good eats on Johns Island and we have tons of recommendations. Want to take in a movie and dinner? Head to the Terrace Theater and go to Zia Taqueria, right next door, at 1956 Maybank Hwy. The fish tacos are so fresh, you'll swear they have a line out on Wappoo Cut to pull them in just for you.
The Wild Olive has the most wonderful Italian food and a terrific variety of wines that you'll swear you had stumbled into a Tuscan hillside trattoria. Don't have reservations? Don't worry. The community table is perfect for meeting great people, sharing stories and enjoying the freshest food.
We even have the number to one of the best chefs in the country, if you want a personal chef to come into your home and cook for you, your friends or family. His name is Chef Brett McGee and he can cook an intimate meal for two starting with melt in your mouth Fois gras or make a large family-style meal including buttermilk fried chicken for a crowd. His services are constantly up for auction with local charities, so you're in for a real treat when you schedule with Chef Brett. His prices and services vary, so we’ll be happy to provide you with his number for you to work out your meal and menu plan.
How about doing something you've never tried before, like waterskiing? Trophy Lakes on Johns Island was just featured in Southern Living Magazine as one of the South's Greatest Lakes. It's the perfect spot to learn to waterski without fear of embarrassment. For $55, you will receive a private lesson and equipment is be provided. Want your kids entertained while you walk through Charleston antiquing? Then send them out for a kids camp for $90 a day from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays. Best of all, lunch is provided and they can meet and makes some other friends. Visit carolinawatersports.com/traphylakes/rates to see more details.
Want to tell your friends about the one that got away? Then give Sonny Boy Charters a call at 843.708.1486 to let Capt. Brad Rumph take you fishing around the islands. Trips include all of your ice, bait, tackle and fishing licenses on a comfortable 18-foot Hewes Redfisher or 25-foot Seacraft. Bring your camera to spot those bottlenose dophins and brown pelicans at play.
Like we said, there are plenty of opportunities to do nothing on your vacation. Seabrook Exclsuives is more than happy to provide you with the information and resources to help you make the most out of your do-nothing vacation.
