Holden Beach has been the location of our family reunion for over 30 years. In 2010 we finally decided to find a permanent place to call home when we are able to visit.
Holden Beach is a quiet, unspoiled place with wide sandy shores and uncrowded beaches. Here you and your family can set up a tent or umbrella, place your chairs and towels, coolers and picnic items and spend hour after hour chatting, reading, sleeping, shelling, swimming or just enjoying nature. There are so few people sharing the beach at our private access point, you will be able to spend your vacation time with the people you love, not strangers who also happen to have chosen the same week to vacation.
If you have golfers in your midst, there are many courses available to play. My husband and sons love to get up very early and hit the links before it gets too hot and also allow their day to included some beach or pool time in the afternoon.
Myrtle Beach and Wilmington are each about an 40 minutes to an hour away. Each provides lots of shopping opportunities and access to an enormous number of additional golf courses. There is abundant nightlife there also -- something that is not readily available at Holden.
