2) Make a Pot of Low Country Boil.
Fresh seafood is a way of life in the South! It is more than just a menu item for us. Catching our own crab, fish and shrimp is one of our favorite pastimes around here! They have a major influence on the foods we eat and how we prepare and share those delicious bites. Nothing says southern quite like a steaming pot of low country boil. It’s not a meal to pass up any time you’re offered! Get your boiling pot ready and use our guide to prepare a Liberty County Low Country Boil.
3) Have a Bonfire!
Even though it’s not super cold outside, it’s still a great time to have bonfires with friends and family. You can tell old stories, pick the guitar and relax with a cold beverage. Sit back and enjoy that perfect coastal sunset while keeping yourself warm by the fire.
Cold beverages not your cup of tea? Warm up with one of our favorite beverages straight from Germany.
4) Go for a Kayaking Adventure!
Visit the Sunbury Crab Company and rent a kayak to enjoy a beautiful day on the water. There is direct access to our Intracoastal waterways, so be sure to watch out for the tides. Relax in the sun on a beautiful day by venturing out into the marsh. When you come back in from the day on the water, grab a table and order some fresh seafood and a cold beverage! Pro Tip: Remember to make a reservation.

5) Visit Cay Creek Wetlands Interpretive Center!
Located in Midway, Cay Creek Wetlands Interpretive Center is an excellent example of tidal and freshwater wetlands. This site provides a unique opportunity for education and appreciation! Search for the numerous species of plants and animals that inhabit this area. The boardwalk is 7/10ths of a mile from beginning to end and will take you through 8 different ecosystems! Don’t forget to visit the lookout tower for an even better view.
6) Book a Hunt with Dorchester Hunting Preserve.
Dorchester Hunting Preserve is a 5,000-acre hunting hotspot, located just outside of Midway. One of the biggest highlights of the property is the bird hunting options, which include quail and pheasant. Hunters can enjoy half- or full-day hunts complete with well-trained dogs and guides to assist. No matter if you prefer hunting, fishing or getting back to the basics in the great outdoors, they have plenty of options to enjoy. Click here to book a visit!
