Take a trip to Bird Shoals with Island Adventure Feery. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. And you can find all the sand dollars you want there!!! Just be ready to wade in the shallows at low tide. 

Beautiful small historical town. Boating is the theme with excellent restaurants. Stop by Fishtowne Brewery/Taproom for great craft beer selection. Fishtowne won the Battle of the Cut contest last week 3/7/20, held at Beaufort Hotel.
