Fun evening on the beach - I was looking for an activity to do with my 10 yr old grandson. We found the metal detector activity. It was better than anything we could have expected. This excursion/activity was so much fun! We learned how to use the detectors and we were given earbuds to hear the "beeps". They provided chairs bottled water, all the tools and you can keep what you find. Being able to try a new activity with my grandson was the best. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. They don't hover, they show you how to use the equipment and you can go do your thing or stay close. I would recommend and we will be going back again. If you are looking for an activity on the beach try this!

- Matty and his wife, Jennifer, are gracious hosts. They taught us all about metal detecting and gave a a few pointers that made it fun and easy! They had everything we needed-equipment, beach chairs, snacks and water, and, even had “planted” “finds” for us. The three of us came away hooked on metal detecting! Please go give them a try-it’s fun and exciting to see what you can find! And, being on Simmons Island is the perfect setting. They also gave us interesting information about the area. Thanks Matty and Jennifer!
