October on Spring Island is beautiful with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the low 60s, mostly sunny with about 70% humidity. Chance of rain is minimal and gentle breeze is likely. Just perfect!

What should I pack for the weekend?

Spring Island is a wild, natural place. You will likely be walking on uneven ground, grass, gravel, and sand. Please pack shoes that are comfortable and provide stability. Saturday's Fun & Games may involve some time in and/or on the water so consider packing a waterproof windbreaker, sandals and swimsuit. Activewear will be necessary for other activities on Saturday. Welcome Party attire is Smart Casual. Wedding attire is Dress To Impress (formal) and it’s suggested you bring a light sweater or jacket as most of our wedding events will be held outdoors. Bug spray and sunscreen are also recommended!

Are there places to eat?

Please note that there are no bodegas, corner shops, pharmacies, grocery stores, or any other amenities on the Island. All of our weekend events will include food but we do recommend stopping for any must-haves or snacks on your way in. Friday: Lunch will be available from 11-1pm at The Golf House, credit cards accepted. Saturday: Breakfast will be available from 8-11am at the Golf House, credit cards accepted. Complimentary lunch will be provided at The Gathering Room 11:30-1pm. Free coffee, tea, lemonade and cookies are available all day at the Golf House and The Gathering Room.

How do I sign up for Saturday’s Fun & Games?

At check in upon arrival. Slots for group activities are first come, first served.

Will I have cell phone service?

Cell phone service is extremely spotty on the island so there is no guarantee you'll have great service (or service at all). Most guest homes and cottage homes have WiFi, however. But don't worry! We will provide ALL information you'll need for the weekend upon arrival.

What do I do with my car?

A car is REQUIRED. Parking will be available at your designated accommodation, The Golf House as well as at the recreation center for Saturday's Fun & Games.
