Salty Locals Podcast

In this special episode, we're pulling back the curtain at one of Cherry Grove’s favorite hangouts—Duck Dive Bar & Grill. Join me behind the bar with three of the people who make this place such a local treasure: Mike McCambley (owner), Whitney (the powerhouse with endless energy behind the bar), and Maddi McCambley (Mike’s daughter and rising star behind the bar—and yes, we talk about her son Kai, the curly-haired beach bum everyone loves).

We dive into what it's really like working in one of the busiest beach bars in town, share a few untold stories, and get personal with rapid-fire questions. Whether you're a Duck Dive regular or just beach-dreaming from afar, this episode is full of laughs, local love, and a few salty surprises.
