Our plans are to grab a cheeseburger at Hamburger Joe's for lunch and then head over to JC Penny's so Beck can look for some new tennis shoes.
There's really no reason to wait until this evening for your Cherry Grove Pier Postcard since I've got time to send it out this morning.
In the early 1950's, beach-goers were drawn to a brand new, 985-foot wooden fishing pier. Not only was it a scenic attraction, it boasted some of the best fishing along the coast.
Thanks for strolling back to the beach today and picking up your Pier Postcard. We're heading home in the morning and hopefully the sun will be back out for a good driving day. Have a great weekend everyone and I'll chat with you Monday! | In 1989 the Pier was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo which left a widespread path of destruction across the state of South Carolina. It was rebuilt and the two-story observation deck was added. In September of 1999, Hurricane Floyd left its mark on the Cherry Grove Pier by snapping off the observation deck and depositing it 1000 yards down the beach! It was rebuilt and renovated in time for the next summer season. We had to pay two bucks to walk out on the pier, but that was OK since it was full of folks fishing, there was a great ocean breeze blowing, and I had a camera in my hands. Take a look... |
