You only have until 1 Aug, when they will close for the season, to enjoy the pleasures of spending sometime at the Sand Bar Grill in Cherokee Sound. Whether approached by car or boat, this sublime spot is sure to captivate. The home cooked food is good, the water is at its best and there is shelling and swimiming off the nearby beach. All in all, a great way to while away a Saturday or Sunday afternoon - the only days it is open .
