Hammocks Beach State Park always offers a great variety of activities and events to fit everybody's interests but it is looking like they are adding some fun & different activities. I'm a big supporter of local businesses & organizations that offers activities to get local kids & parents outside away from electronics to spend time together discovering new things. So when I saw some of the new things going on at Hammocks Beach State Park I had to share!
