We recently spent two weeks traveling from VA down to N. Myrtle Beach SC and on to Ft Myers/Naples FL. Had a ball! The weather was great, it only rained two evenings and they were short showers.
Some of the places I visited were:
The PIT Resturant - SC
Apache Campground in N Myrtle Beach FL - did not think much of this campground, we were in the middle of "Bike Week" and the spaces were on sand, not cement.. cramped together. Every one was nice though and offered to help us set up, we only stayed here for two nights while we looked at real estate in and around Myrtle Beach. My favorite area was of course South Beach and the Pawley's Island area. - You must eat at the PIT (Pawley Island Tavern-Above) and visit "Pawley Island Hammocks" - they are famous for their hammocks!
Next we traveled on to Ft Myers Beach FL. Stayed in South Fort Myers and saw many interesting things at the "Woodsmoke Campground". Every morning when I got up to walk my dog Daisy we would walk down by two of three ponds.. I was surprised one morning to see "sea otters" playing on the bank.. I ran and got my camera and took these shots below.
I watched the otters play for about 15 minutes, they were not scared of me or Daisy and would come up to shore and just "chatter" at me there were three of them! There were also beautiful cranes and ducks swimming on the ponds. Signs warned "do not feed the Alligators" but I never saw one here.
We took a day and visited "Bonita Dog Beach" - Daisy loved it! We went over with two friends we met from the campground - Dave and Carol and they had two dogs, we took all three dogs and had a cookout on the beach - what fun! We saw dogs of all breeds and sizes and they all got along fine! There are no rules on this beach.. all breeds allowed. We took hotdogs and cooked out on the beach. This was off the Gulf and the water was a beautiful deep blue, the sand white and clean. I loved the Bonita Beach area near Naples!
