Spring Break
LIVE CAM!


The warm weather of Spring brings many things with it. Blooming flowers, green leaves, chirping birds... but what about the finer aspects of Spring, like bikinis, parties, beaches, no school, bar-hopping, and general over-indulgence?! That's right! It's Spring Break time again!

What's that? You can't make it this year? No worries... check out the action on TripSmarter.Com's Spring Break LIVE CAM from Spinnaker Beach Club! The SB Live Cam is located on the Pool Deck of "The Club That Started It All" and is SURE to catch some of the craziness associated with Spring Break!

Legends of the
Grand Strand...
Pirates and Ghosts!


The Grand Strand has a storybook history. Indeed, dozens of books have been written about long-lost Indian tribes, colorful pirates, and roaming ghosts. But for the most part, these stories have been shared orally - told and retold over hundreds of years, generation after generation. Not surprisingly, the stories change over time, as different storytellers add their own embellishments. As a result, there are as many different versions of the same story as there are people telling it. The embellishments only add to the enjoyment of hearing, reading, or re-telling them...
