Celebrate Father's Day by the Sea on the Charleston Coast

Ditch the crowded brunch spot this year at home and give Dad something he wants: a weekend of memories on the Charleston Coast. Make Father’s Day unforgettable with sunrise adventures and unique local experiences only steps away from your Carolina One vacation rental. Here’s a look at unique ways to celebrate Father’s Day beach by beach below.

 

Surf Lessons and Sunset Cruises on Folly Beach

Folly’s electric energy is perfect for the dad who is always up to trying something new. Sign up for private surf lessons with a local pro, or rent a beach cruiser and explore the island on two wheels. Top off the day with views of the marshes and waters that Folly Beach offers with a sunset dolphin cruise during the golden hour. Stay in a laid-back Folly Beach vacation rental steps away from the ocean, and discover your gateway to adventure and relaxation with the family.

 

Fishing and Shell Island Picnics in Edisto Beach

For those looking for a quieter, more nature-focused getaway, Edisto Beach offers unique eco-tours and fishing excursions. Private boat tours to Shell Island are available. Shell Island is a remote, unspoiled barrier island accessible only by water, so be sure to bring a cooler, packed lunches, and make it a Father’s Day picnic to remember. Our Edisto Beach vacation rentals offer access to boat landings, marsh views, and the stillness that Dad will appreciate this year.

 

Hidden Bunker Adventures on Sullivan Island

Dads who are history buffs will be in awe over the underground bunkers you’ll find exploring Fort Moultrie. After a day of exploring the fort, grab some ice cream from the ice cream shack while walking on the beach. When you stay in a Sullivan Island vacation rental, you’ll notice the quiet moments you’ll have with the family. What more could any dad ask for than exploring the bunkers with his family?

 

Beachfront Golf & Crab Hunting at Wild Dunes

Did you know that Wild Dunes offers its guests world-class golf? But instead of playing a round or two of golf, mix it up with a sunset putting contest or even a game of bocce ball on the beach. At night, head down to the beach with a flashlight and let the kids do some ghost crab hunting. A Wild Dunes vacation rental gives you access to the resort amenities so that Dad can hit the greens in the morning and enjoy the beach in the afternoon with the family.

 

Paddleboarding & Pier Strolls on Isle of Palms

Isle of Palms is such a fun and relaxing place to spend Father’s Day with the kids. Find something new to do, such as paddleboarding at sunrise. If that isn’t what you’re into, then rent a golf cart and cruise the island streets with the family. Check out local shops and restaurants to listen to live music and walk the pier with an ice-cold treat. Carolina One offers family-sized rentals with pools, allowing you to enjoy the perfect Father’s Day together on Isle of Palms.

 

Book directly with us at Carolina One Vacation Rentals for the best selection, excellent rates, and a team of local experts who genuinely care. Now is the time to give Dad the best gift that he’ll remember for years to come. What are you looking forward to this Father’s Day along the Charleston Coast?

Practicing Social Distancing While On Vacation

Enjoy your Vacation at the beach with these helpful tips!

Stick Figure Family Vacationing

Staying connected while practicing responsible physical distancing strategies is important. Here are a few ways to relax, recharge and enjoy your next vacation while still practicing physical distancing.

Physical Distancing At the Beach

Wave a boater’s hello to friendly passers by while keeping a healthy 6 feet apart. When you head down to the beach for the day try to walk a little bit further down from the beach access, space your chairs or towels a few feet apart from each other. Practicing physical distancing at the beach takes a little extra time but it is always worth it!

Activities that practice Physical Distancing: 

  • Grab a book to read while at the beach
  • Collect Seashells
  • Build a sandcastle
  • Go Fishing
  • Water Sports like kayaking and paddle boarding

Have little ones?
Bring a kiddie pool to fill up with ocean water and let them play. This helps if the water is packed with people and it also helps during times that currents are too strong for the little ones to play safely. 

Practicing Social Distancing while on vacation.

Mask

In the “New Normal” this is now a sign of respect. By wearing a mask you aren’t protecting yourself from others germs but protecting others from your germs. If everyone wears a mask than we are all more protected.

Make it stylish and fun! You are living through a historical moment in our world history, have a DIY project day with the family and make your own vacation themed masks. Instead of matching family shirts this year do fun masks and share them on your social media. We would love to see what creative fun styles you come up with!

Gloves & Hand Washing

If you are wearing gloves, be sure to change them frequently. The best analogy that I think we can all relate the easiest to is pretending your gloves are sticky on the outside. Try to avoid cross contamination.   Little “regular motions” are easy to forget, like grabbing your sunglasses or using your cell phone while grocery shopping.

Its important to keep your hands extra clean & wash them frequently. When you’re out and about bring a small portable bottle of hand sanitizer with you to use after touching communal surfaces.

Nature Trails

Retreating to nature is a great way to stay active while practicing social distancing however, in beautiful places nature trails can sometimes be a bit crowded. It’s important to keep your distance of 6 ft. apart. Be mindful of community spaces with community benches, picnic tables and bathrooms. If you do use these facilities, wipe them off before you sit and when you’re finished with a disinfectant wipe.

Pets

We love our furry friends and we know everyone always wants to pet them however, right now may not be the best time to allow passers by to stop and give your pup snuggles. Their coats, their collars, their leashes and vest are all things that collect germs that can be transmitted to you or others.

Keyless Entry

At Carolina One Vacation Rentals we offer a contact-less check in process. Our properties offer keyless entry with a remote check in process. to help promote the importance of physical distancing and keep our staff and guests as safe as possible.

We want your vacation to the Charleston Beach area to be as worry free as possible!
