Whatever your favorite form of entertainment, chances arc you can find it in the South Brunswick Islands or without venturing more than 30 minutes to an hour away. Fishing? Enter a local tournament or grab your gear and head to a local pier, dock or river. Music? Food? Arts and crafts? Try the Blue Crab Festival in Little River later this month. Golf? Check out the area's multitude of top-knotch courses. History? Visit one of the area's excellent museums or historic sites. Take a boat ride, sample local seafood, or learn a new hobby, such as windsurfing or crabbing. But don't feel pressured to do much at all. Feel free to simply ramble, or relax in a porch rocker, perhaps with a good book. Let your cares fade away with the lapping of the waves and the caress of ocean breezes. Enjoy spring in the South Brunswick Islands!
