A DAY OF CHOICES BY HENRY HEERY, AGE 17 There is no place I would rather spend my day than at Sea Island. With activities to do. My perfect day on Sea Island would begin with a morning tee time at one of Sea Island’s golf courses. After golf, I would make my way toward the Oak Room to enjoy the Crabsino sandwich. Next, I would go to the Beach Club for the I’ll decide between going sailing, paddleboarding or playing beach volleyball. I would also be happy just relaxing out on the beach. Once the sun starts to set, I would head to the Waterfront Lounge to spend the evening with friends and watch the game. A BIT OF EVERYTHING BY CHRISTOPHER HOLT, AGE 17 Sea Island has been my home for more than 15 years—and each day is better than the one before. When I have free days to spend on the island, it’s as good as it gets. I’m a golfer, and my friends and I love to kick off mornings with a round. Then, I hit the Beach Club to play in the basketball tournaments. When I’m hungry, I stop by the Snack Shack to get the cheeseburger with fries, one of the best things on the menu. Next, I head over to the Waterfront out in the sunshine, I stay cool with one of on the new waterslide. To end the day, I stop at Wonderland, grab some ice cream (the Gold Brick Sundae rocks my world) and some candy, and head over to the movie theater to cap off my perfect day at Sea Island. BEACH CLUB FUN BY HOLLYN WATKINS, AGE 15 I’m lucky to have grown up on Sea Island and have made so many memories at the Beach Club. My perfect day would start at the Fitness Center with my sisters and friends. We’d exercise, then relax in the water atrium and get a Berry Delicious smoothie (it’s my favorite). Afterward, my friends and family would meet at the Beach Club to lie out on the beach. To cool down, we jump in the ocean or pool, and I might sail or paddleboard. We like to grab lunch at the Snack Shack. I love the cheesefries—they’re the world’s best! For dessert, we get ice cream at Wonderland, then walk to the Waterfront Lounge to hang out with other teenagers. It’s cool when my friends and I have the chance to meet young people from different places. For dinner, I meet my family at our favorite restaurant, Southern Tide. Even on days when I can only enjoy one or two of these activities, I treasure all the memories I make at Sea Island, and I look forward to many more. TEEN SCENE The Waterfront Lounge at the Beach Club is the perfect retreat for teens in high school, featuring a shuffleboard table, smart TV, pool table and an iPhone/iPod jukebox; the lounge has been a hit with young members and guests since opening in spring 2014.
