Shipwrecked

Bird Island, the locals’ paradise island, is magical with its white sandy beaches, wildlife, serene ocean surrounds and boats of all sizes parading the channel or anchoring out for a relaxing excursion. Located North of Myrtle Beach, between Cherry Grove, or Little River Inlet and Sunset Beach, this Island comes alive with locals and tourists, with dolphin cruises, chartered fishing vessels and pleasure crafts. You’ve decided to charter a vessel with friends for the day and after some time at Bird Island, you decide to venture out into the ocean to the Gold Island. The locals tell you not to attempt…too risky they say. You’ve heard about this island. Only a few can find it ….yes, it’s that remote. The name is enticing and suggestive ….GOLD…..could the legend be real? In the summer of 1718, the “Gentleman Pirate” himself, Stede Bonnet is rumored to have hidden some of his loot on this tiny island when he heard Colonel Rhett had dispatched warships from Charleston, SC in search of him.
