20 Dec 5 Resolutions For A Great 2022 in The Hammock Coast With the dawn of the new year at hand, Americans from coast-to-coast are preparing to make resolutions that will largely go unfulfilled. Exercise more. Eat Better. Lose weight. Blah, blah, blah. The old stand-by new year’s resolutions are easy to make, but with everyone looking for a respite from the grind of daily life, goals for the next 12 months built around having fun is a much better idea. With that in mind, here are five things vacationers should resolve to do on their next trip to South Carolina’s Hammock Coast ®, an oceanfront destination in historic Georgetown County that is the perfect combination of family fun, social distance and abundant activities. Visitors to Hobcaw Barony can tour the South Carolina estate of Wall Street financier Bernard Baruch. Hobcaw is now a world-famous research facility. (Photo by Mark A.
