Beach Retreat

 

Golf Clinic: Maybe miniature golf isn’t your speed.  Here’s your chance to hit some golf balls at the driving range, get a lesson from a golf pro, or just ride around on the golf course at Lighthouse Sound or Glen Riddle.

Hooper’s Crab House: Whether it’s all-you-can-eat or you pick a meal from the menu, dinner at Hooper’s is offered to our families every Monday afternoon.  Yummy!

 

Fishing & Sightseeing: Private boaters will take your family out on the bay to fish,  sightsee, or just sit back and relax.

 

Assateague Island: You have to see the wild ponies of Assateague! Famous for the ponies’ annual swim from Assateague Island  to Chincoteague.  The famous pony swim is featured in the children’s book Misty of Chincoteague. Make it a day by going to the beach and taking in the wildlife.

 

Pirate Adventure: Arrr mateys, are you ready to be a pirate for a day? Learn how to talk like a pirate and search for a buried treasure! If you are 10 years and under this adventure is for you! 

 

Tennis clinic: An instructor will provide lessons or just let you hit tennis balls over the net.  Maybe you are the next Andre Agassi or Serena Williams in the making!
