As you create your list of things you need for your upcoming relaxing days in Holden Beach, make sure you don’t forget the music!
You might have your beach playlists ready, or access to your favorite music via your favorite satellite or internet stations, but there is just something special about tuning in to a local radio station during your next Holden Beach vacation. Hopefully, you’ll be able to enjoy a few favorites from our local radio stations as you relax on your vacation rental deck or in your beach chair with the sand between your toes.
And you might just need some good tunes in the car while you are checking out of the many Brunswick County sights during your stay.
