Hilton Head Monthly Connecting the Lowcountry 
Looking for a new core exercise while enjoying the outdoors? Paddle boarding is the sport for you.
“It’s been a sport of royalty in Hawaii for generations,” said Mike Overton, founder of Outside Hilton Head.
Paddleboards are similar to surfboards, but instead one stands on the board while paddling on one side at a time.
The abundance of marine wildlife populating our area would make producers of the cable channel “Animal Planet” envious. So, how does one explore our water surroundings if they don’t own a boat and are more interested in sightseeing than paddling? Perhaps a dolphin cruise is what you’re seeking.

“The Fixer Upper,” by Mary Kay Andrews. The main character in the book, Dempsey, is one tough cookie! She is unexpectedly fired from her job in New York, is caught up in a political scandal, and has to resort to accepting her father’s offer to live in and refurbish the old family home in Guthrie, Ga. She arrives broke and disillusioned. It becomes her seemingly insurmountable goal to “fix up” the estate home. This book has a balance of great supporting characters, humor and a little romance, with a feel-good ending.
When you get down to brass tacks, there is one major reason Hilton Head Island is a beautiful Southern oasis. And lucky for us, we own it and it’s free, making it not only the best, but also the most economical source of summer fun.
