It is a fun way to familiarize yourself with the place that will bring you comfort, relaxation, and luxury.
Stocking your Shelves
Chances are most of your meals are going to be enjoyed at local restaurants, including the ones on the resort property (the grab and go meals available at Island Bites will definitely come in handy) but you may want to grab some snacks, beverages, and other necessities at the local markets, including the Marina Market on Marino Drive, offering all of the above, plus many of the sundries that you may have forgotten to pack. More details on where to shop to stock the fridge can be found here.
Explore the Island and Resort
One of the most exiting parts of your vacation will be taking a trip to scout out the island and Fripp Island Resort. Leave the car parked and explore Fripp Island in true Low Country vacation style via a golf cart. Make sure you pick up your golf cart rental on the first day so your crew can find the resort pools, the Racquet Club and nearest dining options.

The kiddos running ahead, laughing as each wave splashes against their ankles, legs, and eventually their entire body, and you and your favorite traveling partner strolling hand in hand in their footsteps.
