The boys had such a great time crabbing, clamming and 4 wheeling the sand dunes last year that they immediately requested to return in 2016. I rented a house this year because there was so much crab and clam processing that it made renting a motel room not practical. Our house was one block from the beach and less than a mile from the marina where my boat was in a slip. It had 5 bedrooms, 2 baths and sleeps 15! I definitely did not want a house that big but it was one of the few available for our week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/?attachment_id=1953\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1953\"><img

excited to go that they begged to leave right away. I figured that might not be a bad idea to break the 6 plus hour drive in half and stay overnight in Medford. We packed the truck and boat and left with in an hour. A few minutes after we left, I got a call from home saying that Emma really wanted to go too so I turned around and went back home to pick her up. I&#8217;m glad she decided to go. I think it was a great experience for her. She loved the clamming and riding on the sand dunes the most. The crabbing was fun to for her but the weather was so windy that even crabbing in the bay there were swells and whitecaps. She got a little motion sickness so that made it not as enjoyable for her. Even the boys were getting a little sea sick.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/?attachment_id=1946\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1946\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1946\" src=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2307-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2307\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2307-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2307-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2307-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2307.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-1933 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/?attachment_id=1943'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2276-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/?attachment_id=1944'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2300-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/?attachment_id=1945'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2305-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/?attachment_id=1947'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2317-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2317-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2317-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2317-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2317-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2317.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/?attachment_id=1936\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1936\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1936\" src=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2254-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2254\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2254-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2254-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2254.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-1933 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/?attachment_id=1937'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2256-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We could have easily caught more crabs but since Emma was getting motion sickness on the boat, we decide to have her and one boy crab off the dock while the other boy and me crab in the boat.

It was manageable and still fun because Emma still got the do some crabbing. By the end of the trip we tallied 79 keeper sized crabs.\u00a0We ate almost 20 of them while we were there! On Friday we drove to Charleston and clammed in the morning. We got 4 full limits. That&#8217;s 80 clams. That night we ate fresh crab, fried clams, steamed clams, clam chowder, fresh farmers market corn and garlic bread.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/?attachment_id=1948\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1948\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1948\" src=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2320-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2320\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2320-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2320-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2320-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2320-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/synstwinsfins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_2320.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is a creamery in Bandon called Face Rock and it serves up excellent ice cream.
