Indeed, Saturday, June 18, 2016, it was. This was the scene from the rooftop bar at Snapper Jacks where Folly Beach tourists and locals were forced to share air space with a few who weren't too shy in pursuit of food. So, what do you do if you find yourself in a similar situation? One that closely resembles a real-life game of Angry Birds?
Well, it turns out, if you're on Folly Beach, nothing. That's right. The city of Folly Beach is a bird sanctuary. That means by local ordinance, birds are protected. All of them. Even the ones that try their best to disrupt your good time. Now you know.
Are you in the habit of feeding them? Don't. It's not healthy, attracts large numbers, and results in aggression by decreasing fear of humans. The Lowcountry is surrounded by seagulls and other beach birds.
Do your part for wildlife and humans alike. Make it enjoyable for everyone. Don't interfere with nature by feeding wild animals.

Tuesday, May 10, was National Shrimp Day. Are you a fan of America's most popular seafood? By all accounts, South Carolina is in the midst of a successful spring shrimping season. The local catch and demand have both been great. Here in the Lowcountry, and elsewhere around the U.S., it would not be a stretch to say that every day is Shrimp Day. Do you have a shrimp-inspired recipe, dish or story to share? Let us know. We'd love to hear from you!
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
What beautiful places inspire you in the Lowcountry? Share your thoughts with us here.
A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself. A short distance north of the Lowcountry is a jewel of a place steeped in history called The Rivertown. Situated along the banks of the Waccamaw River, Conway, South Carolina, is the county seat of Horry County. But, more importantly, it is home to The Spivey House, a gorgeous waterfront Greek Revival Bed & Breakfast surrounded by majestic oaks draped in Spanish Moss. This historic property in the center of town offers privacy and seclusion yet is walking distance to downtown attractions. Join us as we recap a stay at this grand southern home as tranquil as the still-moving, mysterious black water it overlooks.
