Charlie & Debbie

Seafood Company Giving Away Free Vacation To Popular South Carolina Beach

Author Debbie Nance

We all start to think about beach vacations this time of year.  And, one of our first thoughts is usually how to pay for it.  Well, if you’re lucky you may not have to worry about it.  A seafood company is giving away a free vacation to one of three popular beaches including Hilton Head, South Carolina.  According to Thrillist.com, SeaPak Shrimp & Seafood brands want to help people experience what we all love about the ocean and the beach.  Therefore, they offer a chance to win a fully paid vacation to a winner who has never been oceanside before.  SeaPak indicates the rules are simple.  Those entering need to be at least 18, and have never been to an ocean before.  I’m not sure how they go about verifying that.  However, the winner can take themselves and up to 5 guests on the five day, four night trip.

Destinations available for the winner to choose from include St. Simons Island, Georgia, Destin, Florida or Hilton Head, South Carolina.  SeaPak spokespersons say it’s a “first in a lifetime” trip.  And, they note that about 60% of the world’s population lives more than 60 miles from an ocean.  So, if you’re interested in entering, you can do so until April 6.  The winner finds out in May.  And, if you need more information, visit their website for details.  Furthermore, the grand prize includes up to $2500 for food and beverage.  Also, they offer up to $2500 for activities and excursions.  Among other things, the seafood company giving away the free trip will ask the story of why you’ve never seen the ocean, what you’re excited about it and who you’ll take and why.

The Best Beach In South Carolina? This Is What Travel + Leisure Says

There is no shortage of fantastic beaches up and down the east coast. And we are lucky enough to have some of those here in South Carolina. The experts over at Travel + Leisure ranked the best east coast beaches. And they named two from the Palmetto state. To be fair, they included two from every state on the east coast. But it’s still interesting to see what the say the best beach in South Carolina is. Every spot on this list has something for everyone including of course the sand and water, but also activities, restaurants, and ways to relax.

From the rocky coastline of Maine, through the quaint New England beach towns, through the Outerbanks of NC, the Lowcountry of SC, and of course Florida! Whether you want to fly or drive there is an east coast beach that you’ll love. I’ve only been to one of Travel + Leisure’s picks for South Carolina, and coincidentally one for North Carolina as well. I have to say of both of those, I’d probably rank a different location above them. But I’m not the expert! Keep reading to see what Travel + Leisure ranked as the best beach in South Carolina! You’ll find a full detailed analysis of North and South Carolina, and then keep reading to see the winners from the other east coast states. You can read the full Travel + Leisure article here.

  • South Carolina

  • Myrtle Beach

    Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is 60 miles of beautiful grand-strand beaches. In addition to the beach, you’ll find exciting attractions and celebrity-designed golf courses, high-rise hotels, resorts, oceanfront condos, and vacation rentals. 

    What Travel + Leisure Says: Located along South Carolina’s Grand Strand coast sits Myrtle Beach, one of the most popular beach destinations in the state. Made up of several connected beaches, the sand here goes on for miles. It’s ideal for families, friends, and all who want to soak in the rays together. Plus, its proximity to nearby restaurants, accommodations, and attractions makes it easy to either pop in or spend the day.

  • Burkes Beach

    Burkes Beach is a mid-island beach on Hilton Head Island. It is located right next to Chaplin Community Park and is a great beach to visit on a bike, as well as one to take your dog too.

    What Travel + Leisure Says:

    North Carolina isn’t the only state with island paradise beaches. Just look to Burkes Beach in the ever-popular Hilton Head Island for proof. Burkes Beach is often considered the more local of the island’s beaches, meaning it’s both a bit more relaxed and comes with fewer restaurants nearby. That said, the trade-off of peace and quiet just might be worth having to pack a sandwich.

  • North Carolina

  • Nag's Head

    Nags Head is located in the northern area of the Outer Banks adjacent to Jockey Ridge State Park. You’ll find plenty of places to stay- beach houses, seaside motels, and hotels with a view. Shopping- there are boutiques, surf shops, an outlet mall, and grocery stores. And of course, restaurants for everyone with fine dining to barbecue to casual bites and always exceptional seafood.

    What Travel + Leisure Says: What would a list of great eastern seaboard beaches be without mention of the Outer Banks? For the ultimate in solitude on the Outer Banks, head to Nags Head and its 12 miles of sandy shoreline. There are plenty of public access points — all you need to do is find a patch that’s ideal for you and set up shop. Just make sure to pack enough water and snacks to last the day.

  • Emerald Isle

    Emerald Isle is a part of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. Its located at the western end of Bogue Banks, and features 12 miles of pristine shoreline. The town boasts a variety of lodging options and is perfect for family fun.  Emerald Isle is known for its watersports, fishing (onshore, offshore, and on the Bogue Inlet Pier), or simply relaxing on the beach and enjoying the sound of the waves rolling in.

    What Travel + Leisure Says: For another island beach experience, make your way to Emerald Isle, which has fewer than 4,000 permanent residents, but swells to a much larger size when the weather is nice, thanks to its striking beach. Those looking to get out on the water can book a fishing charter to see the beach from a whole new perspective (and perhaps catch dinner while they’re at it).
