Local pearls of Murrells Inlet
Brookgreen Gardens
Nearly a hundred years old, these stunning scenic gardens are a cultural centre. Boat rides become history lessons, and butterfly house visits teach you about conservation. Art and history intertwine at indoor exhibits and Night of a Thousand Candles events where the gardens and sculptures are illuminated by over 5000 candles .
Huntington Beach State Park
Watch the sun set over this atmospheric stretch of sand, sky, and ocean. Look out for the diversity of birds as you wander through exotic plants on the nature trails nearby. In September, the Atalaya arts and crafts Festival takes over the castle by the same name - enjoy art, music, and elegant cuisine in the last of the summer sunshine.
MarshWalk
Stroll along the promenade and watch the sailors hopping on and off shrimping boats and fanning out their nets over the docks. Enjoy a meal at one of the restaurants, or explore the picturesque marshes with their proliferation of flora and fauna.
Murrells Inlet Marshwalk Waterfront
One of Grand Strand's greatest assets are the inlets and marshes surrounding Murrells Inlet. Take a walk along the seafront and gaze out at the tranquil water. Some of the best restaurants and bars line the MarshWalk serving up seafood, beverages, and live sets by superb local musicians.
Waccamaw Neck Bikeway
Go on an adventure into the great outdoors with a biking or hiking tour of Waccamaw Neck, which follows Murrells Inlet all the way to Huntington Beach State Park. 12 miles of paved routes let you glide through maritime forests and untouched wetlands.
