One of the best ways to learn about a new place is to visit local museums. Even if you’ve spent your vacations along the Grand Strand for years, a trip to a local art museum or one filled with historical arti-facts gives a fresh perspec-tive and stirs your emotions while connecting you with the past. Our marshes, riv-ers and estuaries are some of the most unique on the East Coast, and a trip to Hobcaw Barony will give you a new respect for our amazing tidal waters.

Festivals are a fun way to spend a day outdoors and maybe taste a dish you’ve never tried. Ata-laya Arts & Crafts Festival focuses on the beauty of handmade creations. Many lovely one of a kind works

of art are available – an addition to your home or that one of a kind gift is waiting for you to discover! Local art galleries are also a source of inspiration and excitement. Our growing arts community has drawn some world class talent to our area.

An afternoon or evening enjoying a cultural arts performance is a pleasure to be savored. Coastal Carolina University in Conway has a full calendar of events from September through May. Long Bay Symphony also performs in the area throughout their season. Maybe theater arts are your favorite? Com-munity theaters along the Grand Strand produce quality plays and musicals. The Strand Theater in Georgetown and Main Street Theatre in Conway are now using their “dark” nights to show classic and independent films.

Enjoy the Grand Strand’s cultural arts!

Fall brings cooler weather and the beloved Atalaya Arts & Crafts Festival. Held in Sep-tember, more than 100 artisans are featured against a background of natural beauty. Enjoy delicious food and local musicians while strolling

through Atalaya, former summer home of Archer and Anna Huntington.

For more than 20 years, Pawleys Island Festival of Music & Art has been bringing world class enter-tainment to the

Waccamaw Neck. This year’s event will

be held the first two weeks of October and will feature the popular Wine Gala and an amazing lineup of entertainment.

Get out and enjoy a festival!

Beautiful temperate weather and scenic vistas are the perfect combination for festivals. Celebrating wine, music, art and, of course, food, thousands enjoy area festivals each year.

The popular Coastal Uncorked Food and Wine Festival in Myrtle Beach is only in its third year, but has already become wildly popular. Held in late April, be sure to explore the Grand Oceanfront Tasting Tents where local, regional and national purveyors will offer samples. There’s something for beer lovers in the Brewery Tent and if you’ve ever wanted to “stomp the grapes,” you’re in luck!

May is one of our most beautiful months and perfect for any outdoor event. The Blue Crab Festival in Little River is celebrating its 31st year of providing delicious food and a fun day of entertainment set under the oaks of the Little River waterfront.

Another local favorite, Rivertown Music & Arts Festival is held in early May, in historic Conway. Enjoy delicious food while listening to a variety of music ranging from jazz to gospel to steel drum ensembles.

Myrtle Beach’s most famous festival, Sun Fun, has evolved through the years to encompass events throughout the summer ending with the Beach, Boogie and BBQ Festival on Labor Day weekend. You’ll still see bathing beauties

Wonderful galleries are found throughout our area. On the south end, Ebb and Flow Art Co-op and The Cheryl Newby Gallery feature everchanging exhibits of local, national and international art.

Famous financier Bernard Baruch once entertained the likes of Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt at his home on Hobcaw Barony. His daughter, Belle, left the 17,500 acre estate for research in forestry and marine biology by South Carolina uni-versities. Tours are available daily – watch for the wild turkeys that answer to honking horns!

The Rice Museum on Front Street in Georgetown is located in the historic clock tower and explores the area’s fascinating rice culture. The Georgetown County Museum highlights nearly 300 years of local culture and The Kaminski House, built in the late 1700s, features a large collection of fine antiques and still has many of the original floors and moldings.

Built 40 years before the Civil War, Hopsewee Plantation is a remarkably preserved home, set on the banks of the North Santee River. Still a private home, it is open to daily tours. Hampton Plantation State Historic Site has beautifully manicured grounds and a colonial era home. Tours of the mansion are given daily.

Fill your mind with the Grand Strand’s beauty and charm of yester-day and today!

Love great music, fine art and thoughtful cultural exhibits? Look no further than your favorite vacation spot for an afternoon at the symphony or a day in one of the area’s many unique museums. Our area’s burgeoning cultural arts scene is alive and well, of-fering quality performances, exhibits and experiences throughout the year.

The mysteries of the universe are explored in Bruns-wick County at Ingram Planetarium, located in Sunset Beach, and explore the fascinating Museum of Coastal Carolina in nearby Ocean Isle while you’re there.

Art lovers will be amazed by Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash. A hub of arts-related activity, this gallery seems to go on for miles. Take in a concert by Myrtle Beach’s own professional Long Bay Symphony or explore the diverse offerings of Coastal Carolina University’s Music Department for an uplifting cultural treat.

Give your children a chance to learn and explore interactive exhibits at The Children’s Museum of South Carolina. Young and old will enjoy The Franklin G. Burroughs and Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum, an off-the- beaten-path treasure of Myrtle Beach, is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year with special exhibits and events.

In Conway, see Horry County history brought to life at The Horry County Museum, and while you’re visiting this historic riverfront city, take a walking tour and learn more about our county seat. Be sure to ex-plore the local art scene in Conway. The downtown area has wonderful galleries and events throughout the year.

Brookgreen Gardens deserves at least a full day to explore. The outdoor sculpture garden and zoo is a National Historic Landmark with the most significant collection of figurative sculpture in an outdoor setting by American artists in the world.

Just opened in 2010, the 1.2 mile oceanfront Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is filled with activity, from live music to restaurants and even thrilling rides and attractions. You’ll experience a meandering oceanfront park on the southern-most end and the thrills and excitement increase as you make your way north. Check for summer entertainment from strolling jugglers to a family-friendly Kids Carnival.

R i v e R W a l k i n C o n W a yA short drive inland to Conway, the county seat

of Horry County, finds this scenic walk connecting the Waccamaw River with the historic downtown business district. The trail begins under the Main Street bridge and ends at the beautiful riverfront park and marina complex. Stroll by historic buildings and the Conway Arboretum. A riverside gazebo provides a quiet place to enjoy the view.

Beautiful Murrells Inlet is situated on the salt marsh and is known for its many delicious restaurants. The one-half mile marsh front boardwalk ends with a walk out onto a long public pier and spectacular views of the salt marsh. You’ll probably hear live music from several of the restaurants flanking the walk, and as you pass Drunken Jack’s Island, watch for the goats and beautiful peacocks that live there during the summer months.

Most of us get excited by the thought of spend-ing a leisurely day looking for treasures and bargains. Women may be more interested in the art of mak-ing just the right purchase, but men will find plenty to pique their interest as well. Shopping inspires us with ideas for everything from trying a new sport or improving on our favorite hobby to decorating a room that will soon hold a new baby.

The Grand Strand is known as a destination for shoppers, with funky bou-tiques stocked with one-of-a-kind items, destination shopping centers filled with brightly lit, glittering stores and almost everything in between. We even have a growing number of upscale consignment stores for those who enjoy the thrill of finding that designer piece in perfect condition,

S p l u r G e S o u t h e r n S t y l e

let’s go shopping!

for a fraction of the original price and quaint flea mar-kets with an ever-changing array of merchandise.

Window shopping through Myrtle Beach’s upscale urban village is the perfect activity for a beautiful Grand Strand afternoon, especially when

it’s followed by a relaxing hour enjoying a beverage and a snack at one of the

many unique restaurants and bistros. Families can spend the day “building a bear” or choosing the perfect outfit for that im-portant first day of school.

Take a day for retail therapy!

FINE GIFTS


Some of the most unique shopping adventures are found in boutiques and spe-cialty shops along the Grand Strand. These are the places that cause you to stop and gasp in awe over a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry or the perfect gift for someone you love.

Knitting is becoming more and more popular, and knitting shops have become a gathering place for those who love the craft. Knit-N-Purl, located just west of the waterway in Carolina Forest, has a beautiful and unique selection of yarns. If you’re tak-ing home a gift for someone special, a stop at Barbara’s Fine Gifts or Accents by Carol, both in Myrtle Beach, is in order. Both are locally owned and operated by helpful, pro-fessional owners, and the beautiful treasures in these charming boutiques are impossible to pass up.

Most of us have a special child in our life and shopping for them is always a treat. Kangaroo Pouch in Myrtle Beach has ador-able cribs, cars seats, furniture and more for children. Recently we saw a vintage baseball lamp that would be perfect for the all American boy in your life. Children’s

We all love searching for, and finding, the unique and different while exploring shops and boutiques. The south end of the Grand Strand has several homegrown, locally-con-structed items that you’ll love.

Love to rock? Try the lowcounty version – a joggling board. Originally built in the late 19th century, this unlikely seat is constructed

from one long board supported on each end by a wooden stand. When you sit on the springy board, you can easily “joggle” up and down. Found on many local porches, these fun seats are usually painted green and add character to your porch. Locally, they are built and sold by Pawleys Lifestyles.

The idea for the hammock came from

S P L u r G e S O u T h e r n S T y L e

homegrownand fabulous

native South Carolinian Joshua John Ward, a riverboat captain who ferried rice and supplies between the vast rice plantations and nearby Georgetown and Waverly Mills. Cap’n Josh found the lumpy, grass-filled mattresses on his boat too hot for the sultry coastal summers, so he set about designing a soft, cool bed that would serve his purpose. The result was a hammock so strong and comfortable that its handmade design has endured for more than a century unchanged and unchallenged. Stop by Pawleys Island Hammock Shops and watch local craftsman make hammocks, expertly weaving rope to make one of the most comfortable and durable hammocks sold.

Locals know when the weather cools it’s time for an oyster roast. Oysters are usually harvested in clusters and lightly steamed, then shucked and eaten with hot sauce and crackers. An oyster roast traditionally takes place outside, near the fire where the oysters are prepared. The feast is eaten while stand-ing around a table with a hole in the middle and a bucket underneath. Oyster tables are made locally and are a fun addition to an outdoor room. These tables are also used for Lowcountry Boils, a dish made with steamed shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, onions and seasoning.

Featured in a February 2012 edition of USA Today, Brian and Sassy Henry are local entrepreneurs who run the lovely Sea View Inn in Pawleys Island and also own a local take-out restaurant. Several years ago, they developed a delicious version of classic southern pimento cheese they call Palmetto Cheese which sold more than 2 million containers in 2011. You can pick up a tub in most local grocery stores.

Now that’s what’s called shopping with flair!

Well-prepared and delicious, a good meal is one of life’s pleasures, and an important part of any vacation is enjoying your favorite foods. Locally, trained chefs prepare a diz-zying variety of cuisines for your dining pleasure. Sea-food, of course, is served in every way imaginable, from the traditional Murrells Inlet or Calabash seafood platter to fresh and tasty sushi or a perfectly grilled piece of freshly-caught fish drizzled with a rich, complex sauce. A regional favorite, shrimp and grits, comes to your table piping hot, creamy and – un-forgettable! Oysters are another local favorite and depending on the time of year, can be eaten steamed,

along the Grand Strand. Most children we know love Mexican food, and there are plenty of choices, from easily recogniz-able chains to locally-owned cantinas. More for the grown-ups and a favorite of locals, our Thai restaurants are some of the best in the region. From cheesy, tomato sauce-covered Italian to a tender, juicy filet, there is a meal for every appetite along the Grand Strand.

Bon appétit!

fried or on the half shell. Our local blue crabs are a delicacy steamed, prepared as crab cakes or in she crab soup. Be sure to take note of the chef’s specials wherever you choose to dine – these are usually a good choice and are only available for a short time.

There are plenty of family-friendly chains

While well known for its tasty fried seafood, the Grand Strand has also gained a reputation for culinary excellence. Horry-Georgetown Technical College has a culinary arts program recognized by the American Culinary Federation and operates a fine dining restaurant on the Conway campus. Operated by students, guests enjoy a five-course meal for only $12.

Local chefs take pride in taking the freshest ingredients and creating culinary masterpieces. On the south end of the Strand, in Georgetown, Portofinos on the Wharf and the Rice Paddy serve Northern Italian and Lowcountry cuisine along with a healthy dose of southern hospitality. A little farther north in Pawleys Island, Chive Blossom, a small locally-owned bistro, has a loyal local following, while Frank’s provides great food and a laid back atmosphere. Aus-tin’s Ocean One, an ocean front fine dining restaurant in Litchfield has an award-winning chef plus floor to ceiling glass for picture perfect views of the Atlantic.

Diners looking for good service and haute cuisine will find many options in Myrtle Beach. The farm-to-table

movement has become very popular here, with chefs choosing locally raised meats and vegetables, and occasionally even serving meals at the farms on tables set up in the fields. Croissants Bistro & Bakery uses only fresh local ingredients to prepare their European-style cuisine. Creating a culinary masterpiece is an art, and Collectors Café combines culinary art with some of the area’s best visual artists’ work for a unique dining experience.

Seasoned diners will recognize the names of a few of our fine dining restaurants, such as Greg Norman’s Australian Grill and Ruth’s Chris, both of whom deliver an excellent dining experience. Oceanfront in Myrtle Beach, Sea Captain’s House is one of the oldest fine dining restaurants along the Grand Strand. Our area has almost endless options for fine dining that will please even the most discriminating palate.

Relax; enjoy a glass of wine and an evening of world class cuisine!

Think seafood, and Murrells Inlet and Calabash come to mind. Both communities have generations of experience in serving up the day’s catch to hungry locals and visitors alike. Other communities along the Grand Strand have used the abundance of the land and sea to develop unique culinary traditions.

Georgetown County was once one of the richest areas in the world due to the cultiva-tion of rice. After the Civil War and several destructive hurricanes the rice culture came to an end, but area cuisine includes many rice dishes and the influence of Gullah-Geechee culture. In Horry County, there is an annual festival celebrating a dish made with rice, chicken, sausage and various spices. The Loris Bog-Off is held the third Saturday of every October.

Murrells Inlet was once the hideout of the famous pirate, Blackbeard, who would stash his booty in the small community for safe-keeping. Legend has it that the pirate and his crew of renegades stopped on a small island off of Murrells Inlet to bury kegs of stolen rum. They buried all but a few of the casks and then feasted on seafood washed down with the ill-gotten liquor. The next morning the pirates left, but one crew member, Jack was left sleeping off his hangover. By the time he was missed, the ship was too far away to come back, and it was nearly two years before Blackbeard’s crew came back to retrieve their rum. On the island, the pirates found Jack’s bleached bones along with 32 empty casks of

rum, hence the name, “Drunken Jack.” The economy of Murrells Inlet suffered

during the Great Depression, but revived when Archer Huntington spent millions of dollars to develop his homestead and gardens. Soon, restaurants began opening throughout the “Inlet” featuring fresh local seafood.

Just over the North Carolina line, the small fishing village of Calabash was largely untouched by the outside world until a

railroad was built in 1905 for the burgeoning

lumber industry. In 1929, the mill ceased operation and the railroad was abandoned. During the World War II years, restaurants began to spring up in Calabash, serving sea-food breaded and fried with a special flavor. Today, restaurants in the small town serve thousands of locals and visitors each year.

Don’t forget the hushpuppies!

Want to stay onshore, but still find adventure? Rent bicycles for a day and explore the area’s trails. The kids will be happy if you take them to Myrtle Waves or Wild Water and Wheels – water parks with enough thrills and excitement to please everyone. Still not sure what to do? The op-tions are endless for land lovers, from Wonderworks Science Museum to Alliga-tor Adventure or experience a ride on a Segway or Jeep Safari tour.

Maybe a half or full day deep sea fishing trip is your idea of the perfect day? Or, enjoy one of the Grand Strand’s fishing piers and wet your line – and get plenty of advice from local anglers! Your perfect Coastal Adventure is just waiting to be experienced. Look through the following pages for some great ideas or visit our website – then get out there and try some-thing new and exciting!

Excitement awaits you!


Coastal adventures come in all shapes and sizes and there is plenty to do that everyone in the family, from the youngest to the oldest, can experience together.

Suitable for all ages, a Carolina Safari Jeep Tour is a coastal adventure that leaves the commercial areas behind to explore the history and mystery of the lowcounty. Hear stories of Blackbeard and his gang of pirates that frequented our coastal waters in the not-so-distant past, and see a former plantation home site with intact slave cabins. A Jeep tour is physically easy and fascinating – your 3 1/2 hour experience will leave you wanting more.

With air conditioned, comfortable gondolas, the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel is a great way for everyone to experience a spectacular view of the Grand Strand. Standing 200 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, this is the largest wheel of any kind this side of the Mississippi. Even more breathtaking at night, the SkyWheel is equipped with a state of the art computer gener-ated lighting system featuring more than one million LED lights.

Your coastal adventure is waiting!

Pick up a paddle and kayak or canoe your way to a memorable coastal adventure. Full and half day tours and rentals are offered locally along the Grand Strand. Paddle through the salt marsh, the swamps and abandoned rice fields of area rivers or brave the swells for the excitement of ocean kayaking.

A slow trip through the tidal blackwater swamps of Black River or the canals running through abandoned rice fields along the mighty Waccamaw is an incredible experience with lots of opportunity to see wildlife and get a feel for what this area was like in times past. As you slide by Bald Cypress trees and pickerel weed, watch for a glimpse of an abandoned rice gate or an alligator sliding into the water as you approach.

Spartina cord grass, hundreds of birds, sea turtles and maybe even a dolphin or two await your salt marsh expedition. Huntington Beach State Park offers a two hour kayak trip every Monday that will give you a fascinating look at the maritime forest and salt marsh bordering Huntington Beach State Park. There is even a moonlight tour during the week preceding full moon.

Wear your bathing suit (and life jacket) for a trip offshore. Kayak rentals are available at most area beaches with delivery directly to the shore. Ride the waves for a thrill and paddle out to view the marine life.

Wherever you dip your paddle, a day spent exploring local waters will leave you wanting more!

Parasailing, flying through the air attached to a parachute while being pulled by a boat, is a thrill I wanted to experience firsthand. Reservations are a must at Ocean Water Sports in Myrtle Beach, so I called ahead and showed up at the appointed time – with more than a little nervousness about my upcoming “flight.” After signing a dozen or so release forms and paying for my ticket, I waited with my group on the beach to board the banana boat that would take us out to the parasail boat.

The day was windy and the seas were choppy, but I felt completely safe on the boat with our experienced captain and first mate. The boat ride was nearly as exciting as the parasail,

up, up and awayC O A S t A l A d v e n t u R e S

and, for just a moment, I doubted my decision as the boat bounced and bobbed over what seemed like enormous swells. ten of us waited our turn – I was glad I wasn’t first! each “flight” lasted approximately 15-20 minutes. When my turn finally came, the captain told

me I couldn’t “fly” alone due to the windy weather, so he paired me up with a mother and her young son. After securing our life jackets, the first mate strapped us securely to the parachute. A wider strap underneath gave us something to sit on. Then, at last, the first mate released the line tethering us to the boat and up we went.

My guess is we were about 300 feet in the air when we stopped climbing. The view was spectacular, but the thing that struck me the most was how completely quiet it is up there. My initial nervousness gave way to wonder as I relaxed into one of the most amazing experiences of my life. too soon, we were pulled back down and onto the boat. I can’t wait to go back…

Walk on Water.Some might call it a miracle; we simply call it our Riverwalk. Nestled atop the winding Waccamaw River, surrounded by majestic cypress and live oak trees, and amidst an audience of native wildlife, the Conway Riverwalk provides spectacular views of one of the world’s few black water rivers. Located just steps away, our authentic downtown offers world class restaurants, eclectic shops and historic sites. Come and experience what we enjoy daily…our historic Rivertown.
