We are happy to welcome for the 2015 season, Singer/Songwriter Walter Finley, performing at Mango’s Lounge and OD’s Beach Bar. “His trademark, a sultry and soulful rhythm entwined with a unique vocal texture captivates audiences across the country.” Playing music styles from Bob Marley to Bob Dylan. While you’re here, come relax and enjoy his acoustic jams every evening, all summer long at 7pm.
It’s only May but we have SUMMERTIME in our soul! We are geared up and ready to help you and your family make those beach vacation memories. Here’s how a Sands’ summer scene may look. Play along with us…
How is this for a morning wake up call? Open your eyes each day of your vacation with the Atlantic right outside your window. Take your time getting ready for the day’s adventures while sipping your coffee on the balcony taking in each wave crashing onto the shore. Oh, but don’t forget the delicious hot buffet breakfast waiting for you at the Brass Anchor restaurant.
Now that everyone has a full tummy, no better time to get the little ones over to the Sands Kids Club where they can sign up for ALL DAY fun and activities without mom and dad making all the rules. Supervised hours of fun, crafts, onsite water park adventures, scavenger hunts, duck races, face painting and meeting new friends.
Time for the BIG kids to hit the water and have fun too! Beach or pool? Spend a little time at both, make time to enjoy a cold drink and a light lunch at our new OD’s Pool Bar. LIVE entertainment all summer long! Lay back, relax and soak it all in. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
Looks like it’s time to round up the kids, head to the room and get ready for dinner at our onsite oceanfront restaurant, Mango’s on the Beach.You have certainly worked up an appetite by now. And with Mango’s new menu, there is definitely something delicious on hand, even for the finicky eaters. Need souvenirs? No need to run around town, stop in our new Sand Dunes Gift shop located right outside the restaurant.
Enjoy live music nightly, all summer long at Mango’s Lounge. Come listen to your favorites performed by singer/songwriter Walter Finley. Finish off the evening with a quiet stroll on the beach, watching the moon rise while breathing in the salty air.
Look at those smiles! Our popular Sands’ Kids Club is about to be in full swing. Opening full time Memorial Weekend, we are very excited to bring you new surprises, activities, water park fun and awesome adventures. Longer hours this year will keep the kiddos occupied all day. Sign ‘em up in the morning at 9am and pick them up by 6pm. Also new for this year, we have available, a Kids Club evening session two nights a week from 6-10pm for only $10. Let the kids be kids and enjoy their time, meeting new friends and making lasting vacation memories. See you this SUMMER!
The Southside Band has been a huge part of the live music at Ocean Annie’s Beach Bar for the past 18 years. They have the best fans literally from all over the world!
Join the jam sessions daily at Sands Ocean Club on Annie’s oceanfront deck. LIVE MUSIC daily starting at 2pm until.
Low tide is the best time to find these sharp fossils. The water is calmer and clearer at low tide, giving you better visibility. Early morning hours, we feel are the best times to search. There are fewer people around to compete with.
Shark Teeth can be found near the water, usually right where the tide is rolling out and especially where you see the accumulation of broken shells, near the last high tide mark. It is a very tedious but relaxing hobby. Some of us are at it for hours on end.
Look for small, black triangular shapes in the sand. The more you find, the more your eyes will key in on them. You will be an expert hunter in no time. Always remember to carry a small pouch or bucket to collect your treasures and lather on the sunscreen.
With the approach of President’s Day, Sands Resorts welcomes its guests to remember the men and women who helped ensure our nation’s survival to celebrate such a holiday.
Located at the Sands Ocean Club, this patriotic display pays tribute to the veterans of conflicts from the American Revolution to modern wars, and celebrates our freedom.
The highlight of the Hall of Heroes is a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC, featuring the 58,253 names of service members who lost their lives.
Also on display are copies of our country’s founding documents, a Korean War tribute, a flag Display, and an informative exhibit featuring all the wars and the soldiers who fought them.
Other displays include a 9/11 tribute that displays the names of the 2,984 Americans who died in the terror attacks.
There’s also a Gold Dog Tag display honoring all the service members killed in action from the Vietnam War to more recent conflicts. Visitors can have special dog tags made to remember lost loved ones.
Get your thrills in the water and on the asphalt at this waterpark/go-kart track in Garden City Beach. Featuring dozens of aquatic attractions and racetracks, Wild Water & Wheels is your one-stop spot for family fun.
Take a ride on the wild side at one of the 24 waterslides, including the Speed Slides and Mat Slides, or take a more relaxing dip in the wave pool or lazy river. And for the little ones, there’s a kiddie aquatic playground where they can splash and play while also being safe and sound.
Go-kart racing isn’t the only other entertainment option for guests. A miniature golf course, bumper boats and a state-of-the-art arcade complete with high-tech interactive games and old-school carnival games create an ideal place for family fun. Guests can also grab lunch at the snack bar and relax in the poolside lounge chairs.
Best of all, guests at any Sand Resorts family of hotels receive free admission to Wild Water & Wheels, which is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The park hosts “Live at Five Fridays,” featuring live music played poolside and other special events. For more information, visit www.wild-water.com.
Golfers travel thousands of miles and spend top dollar to play a round of golf in Myrtle Beach. All guests at a Sands Resorts property have to do is check in.
As part of the Sands Experience, a long list of free activities reserved for guests only, you can play for FREE at Diamondback Golf Course at Woodland Valley Country Club, one of the Grand Strand’s top-rated layouts and most challenging designs.
This 6,928-yard layout is the craftsmanship of Russell Breeden and receives rave reviews from local and vacationing golfers for both playability and service. The par-72 design calls for a combination of strength and finesse, offering several risk/reward opportunities that require a deft touch with every club in the bag.
As the first course on the Grand Strand to install Jensen Ultra Dwarf greens, Diamondback is well maintained and features a number of innovative ways to give golfers a great experience, including golf carts with GPS readings and an enjoyable 19th hole.
Best of all, it’s free for guests at Sands Resorts to experience Myrtle Beach golf at its finest. It’s just another reason to stay and play at the Sands family of resorts.
Family vacations often turn into a getaway for the kids and even more work for the parents. In an effort to keep the little ones happy and entertained, the adults often go home feeling like they need a vacation from their vacation.
That’s why Sand Resorts has created the Sands Kids Club, a group designed to give your children plenty of fun activities to do on-site while the grownups get a little down time. Let the counselors at Sands Resorts show the little ones a good time with games, arts and crafts, dancing and other fun events while mom and dad get some time alone.
Each week features a new lineup of activities, and the list is posted so that families can check out the upcoming events and decide which ones might be best for the kids. Pool and beach games are alternated with arts and crafts and other outings to keep kids of all interests active and involved. They also make friends with other kids their age who are also guests, giving them playmates to hang out with at the resort.
Most Sands Kids Club activities are free, although some craft projects require a small fee for supplies. Ice cream socials, pizza parties and movie nights are often held in the evenings, so parents can even find time to do something special together while the kids mingle with people their own ages. The Sands Kids Club is open to children ages 5-12.
Parents are asked to register their kids for the chosen activities at the start of each day to give counselors a good head count and to sign any required permission slips. Then it’s time to relax and enjoy your stay while the little ones play.
