Halloween Weekends

Our resort also has themed Halloween weekends during every weekend in October. You can check out our events page to pick out which spooky themed weekend is the perfect fit for your fall getaway.

5. Take Advantage of Good Weather

The temps may be falling where you live, but during the fall season in South Carolina the weather is still warm enough to visit the beach. It's also a great time of year to frolic with your furry companions at one of our dog parks. You can also take advantage of the smaller crowds at our lazy river, that stays open through October. 

6. Local Fall Activities

If you're looking to explore outside the resort, head to Thompson Farm and Nursery. Dubbed the "official fall festival headquarters," this farm is a must-see attraction. Get lost in the six-and-a-half-acre corn maze that features a new design every year. You can also meet the animals on the farm and check out more than 20 fall activities. Don't forget to stop over by Norma's Play Area to experience everything from jump pads to duck races.

Another great spot you won't want to miss is the Cabana Pumpkin Patch & Market. Starting in October and running all month long, this charming market offers a ton of fall activities for every age. Pumpkin painting? Corn pit? Hay maze? Check, check, and check.

There are also plenty of available events that are sure to put you in the mood for fall festivities.
