Our families drove some 14 1/2 hours from NWPA to spend a week with us.
We did a lot of exploring – nature walks – resort areas – beach time- sunrise and sunsets.
This day was a nature walk in Cherry Grove before we set out to play mini golf at
“THE BLACK PEARL”!
It was a fun time – guys vs. gals and we barely won!
It was a day in the low ’80s – a little breeze and a lot of fun.

BLACK PEARL – MINI GOLF – CHERRY GROVE – WITH FAMILY!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog my family visiting from NWPA!
Here is where we took the grandkids for lunch after mini-golf – to SNOOKY’S.
This was the area we lived in for nine months at Ocean Keyes while the house was being built.
We would walk this beach every day for our three-mile walk.
This area here is where you ride the jet skies – paraglide and the big banana boats!
A great family beach!
Walk to main street and shopping.
SNOOKY’S is our favorite beach bar and grill in NMB!
We have taken most family and friends here.
Also – the water was very warm and great for swimming and wading.
What a good day – mini golf which is all Bode talked about and he picked out the mini golf course.
Lunch at Snooky’s and then some time hunting shells in the surf of Cherry Grove.
If you are interested in making the Myrtle Beach area your vacation spot – I recommend this area
as it is a great place for families and the beach are fantastic.
The little guy learned that not hiking is in the mountains like he thought!
Crossing streams or climbing rocks – that is all he had ever done on a hike
Showing him nature – the marsh – water – sand – scrub trees –
He learned that there is more to this Earth – hoping to bring him back
in warm weather as we were told you could see “GATORS” then!
They were excited – walking into the trees on the sand path –
looking for birds – snakes – spiders
hearing the sounds and the marsh views!

On their last full day – Bob wanted to play golf – we last played together I would guess 1965 or 1966!
A very long time ago – and he had their clubs in the RV but had not used them all winter.
Pam – who was still recovering from surgery on her heel – would do the driving and Bob rode with me.
They have wintered the last two seasons in their RV – this time it was in Florida.
They made it a point to stop here on their way to family in Nashville before heading home in N.H.
When you play a scramble and her and Cindy hit from the women’s tees – it is good to have them both on your team!
This has become our go to place to take visitors – food is good – and you sit ocean front just yards off the sand.
Many adventures of sleeping out under the stars – roaming the streets after curfew at 10:00 PM.
Nothing bad – raid a garden or two – sneak some beer – campfire – canoe trips down the river –
playing sports together – proms – dances – joining the exployer’s together-
driving – family – both his and mine.

It was a warm morning – 73 degrees – and Sherry had said she wanted to walk early!
It is one half mile to the gated entrance on Hillside drive.
We walk this almost every day – and then turn left and walk up two blocks to 8th. street.
Turn right and walk one block to Ocean Blvd. – cross the street –
and walk into the parking lot – we like this lot – it has a bathroom – and a shower to wash the sand off!
It also has a boardwalk from the parking lot – to a deck and then steps right onto the beach!
In . 66 of a mile – we are standing on the beach!
Early morning sunrise – ten minute walk from our condo.
We will miss this but in thirty minutes from our new home – we can be back here!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World

But – this is the beginning of the week for Spring Breakers –
and we noticed traffic getting heavey.
We have found our way around and avoid the high traffic on rte. 17!
We take the side streets as far as we can – and one side street takes up to where we can shop!
Being here is still our dream – we will come back often as we like it here –
but also where we are moving too – no traffic – country quiet – we can walk –
and still be in access to the other two beaches!

We decided for their last beach walk on a cold windy day –
to take them to the far end of Cherry Grove to a place the local’s call Cherry Point!
The path to the beach is overhanging tree limbs with lots of shrubs and bushes.
Once you walk through there – you are greeted to a wide expanse of beach to the left.
The right goes back toward the houses and pier.
It was cold and windy – and we wanted to walk way out as it seemed at low tide you might be able to walk to the other shore.
Here you can see a few brave souls – walking – and the wind was really blowing!
We walked maybe a half mile – and decided enough – it was just too cold and so windy!
I told Sherry – when it gets warmer and is low tide – we must come back and just see if we can walk across the bay!

It was not planned – but we had weeks and weeks of non stop rain!
So – Sherry made the call – what are you doing to our friends
who now live some 50 miles from us!
Lets get together – you come here for a over night stay –
we will walk the beach if it does not rain!
So – they did – came down and stayed overnight!
Yep – story of our lives now!
We played cards – laughed – and walked.
The rain held off and the Sun came out – but was still cold!
We made the most of it!
They walked the two miles up to the pier –
we walked the mile back to the condo –
The wind was blowing – but on the beach –
The ladies said the sun kept them warm.
We picked up our car and drove up to the pier –
and got out and met them just as they arrived!
We walked a short distance up the beach –
Before we decided to get in the car and drive around.
We showed them the canals and cottages.
Stopped at the boat landing – and then returned to the condo!
So ended another great time with friends –
No rain – walking – games and just great fun.

Walking along the surf – no one in sight – imagining that this is how nature looked centuries ago!
This is a place where the past meets the future –
and we had the pleasure to bring the family
to see – hear and experience it!

Just a short drive North up from North Myrtle Beach is Cherry Grove.
A quaint mostly residential area with well kept houses.
And lots of canals running vertical to the beach.
The area has a big parking lot for boats and trailers
and a ramp into the water – with a long running fishing dock
many fishermen and people putting in their boats or skiffs.
The mainland side is tall reeds
and the bank is a golf course.
We walked around but had to be careful
all the people casting their lines
little boys practicing casting
It was fun to watch.
These homes were in the high HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS!
Everything I could see – even the older cottages
were very well kept!
Neat – painted – no trash around –
Bright colors – and very small hot tub like pools!
The drive down and back was at a slow 20 MPH pace.
Which gave us time to look and see the different houses.

After a attempt to walk the beach –
the wind was too strong and we opted to try the more
protected walk on the marsh!
Once we got in among the brush and trees
we were somewhat protected from the wind
and the Sun was warm!
We could observe the water fowl – the fish and crabs!
They seemed to know we were there as they quickly buried themselves!
The walk in was on a walkway and then a path through the sand!
I was ever watchful for snakes and if there were gators?
But – I never saw either one!
Along the way were several covered picnic areas!
Thinking that when family visits –
this would be a good day outing –
first walking the undeveloped beach
and then into the nature reserve and picnic!
I think this would be a awesome place for a family pcnic!
View of the marsh and channel along with some waterfront houses!
If we had not walked the beach – you would not known –
just how windy it was!
It was a very nice walk – and we know that there is another nature walk
that we will someday explore!

God Bless – go into peace – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
If you want a place of solitude –
a place to reflect –
A place untouched –
just water – sand – and sea grass and the head of a marsh
on the Ocean –
Then head to the far end of CHERRY GROVE – S.C.
We decided since it was a rather cold – 55 degrees –
very windy day – bursts of blasting winds!
We would drive North along our beach road –
to the end of Cherry Grove –
we had seen a covered beach entrance there
and wondered where it led to!
Now – we had no idea – where this path would lead us!
But – it also broke the bursts and gusts of wind!
We found where the development ended and the natural beach began!
No one was here – and I thought – when it gets warmer –
we need to come back!
We started out walking – but the wind made it hard!
Sand was blowing across our path and some stinging our eyes!
It was so calming – and I thought –
this is what the beach looked like hundreds of years ago!
As far as you could see – no buildings – no people!
The tide was going out – exposing the flat beach!
But – it was really blowing –
making the walk almost too hard to do!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World!
We came across a large tree – almost covered with sand –
The ocean had deposited it there.
I wondered just where it came from?
We decided to turn around –
we had walked 2/3 of a mile!
We would come back and explore father.
One for another day!
Thank You!
