While spending Mother's Day on the beach may seem idyllic, it can be just another standard day for those who live locally in the Islands or Lowcountry. While my own mother would undoubtedly enjoy such a day, I believe that this special occasion should be memorable and unique. Fortunately, there are many carefully crafted local events that you can take advantage of to truly make the day feel like it’s drenched in local charm. In fact, there are so many phenomenal things to do on and around the Islands this Mother's Day that it's impossible not to find something special for your mother.
