Best Winter Holiday Destinations

Enjoy the Mild Weather

We'll admit it '" we don't know what real cold is. That's what most of our guests from up north say when they see us shivering in mid-50-degree weather. Our low tolerance makes sense when you consider that temperatures usually only drop to the mid-40s, even in the coldest winter months. So be sure to leave your heavy winter coat behind, because a light sweater will be more comfortable!

Celebrate the Season with Festive Events

Of course, you can always experience holiday cheer at Fripp's festive celebrations. Whether you'd like to venture through a holiday wonderland of twinkling lights with the kids or try your skills at a Christmas-themed golf tournament, there's an event for you. These are some of the best winter holiday celebrations on Fripp Island:

Thanksgiving Dinner at the Beach Club
Breakfast with Santa
Reindeer Run 5K
Annual Santa Scramble Golf Tournament
New Year's Eve Dinner
New Year's Day Brunch

While you might think that Fripp's activities are best suited for summertime, there's plenty of fun left to be had in the winter months too!
