Pick up a paddle and kayak, canoe or SUP (stand up paddleboard) your way to a memo-rable 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 or paddle boarding.

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.

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.

Waterman Expeditions in Litchfield Beach offers SUP beginner lessons, naturalist guided SUP tours, SUP surf lessons, and Fitness/Yoga classes on the water. All lessons and tours include boards and paddles, on-ground instruction covering stance, proper grip of the paddle, basic paddle stroke techniques, water safety, and plenty of on-water time with experienced instructors.

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!

Take a trip down, down and under for excitement under the sea. The Grand Strand offers some of the best scuba diving sites on the east coast!

Our area has a high concentration of beautiful natural shipwreck sites that range in age from the mid 1800s to the 1960s, with many from the Civil War and WWII era. There are also several reefs that contain intact ships. Divers, be sure to check out Barracuda Alley, a project spearheaded by the scuba diving experts at Coastal Scuba and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.

Coastal Scuba’s dive sites are usually teeming with marine life, including angel fish, grouper, amberjack, butterfly fish, great Atlantic barracuda, sea turtles and even the occasional lobster. In recent years, even lionfish have been discovered living on their wrecks.

If you’d rather stay on top of the water, Crazy Sisters Marina in Murrells Inlet offers half and full day deep sea fishing trips for the adventurous sportsman. You can even choose an overnight trip on the New Inlet Princess. On the north end of the Grand Strand, in the laid back fishing village, Little River, daily fishing trips are offered, led by seasoned captains who know how to find those fish!

Adventures are waiting whether you want to go down or up! Parasailing is a popular adventure that takes you several hundred feet above the water. An oceanfront company in Myrtle Beach, Ocean Watersports, offers daily parasailing trips. You’ll ride a banana boat out to the boat, and once on board, the captain and his crew will strap you to the parasail and up, up you’ll go!

If you have a need for speed, try jet skiing. Available for rent at several locations along the Grand Strand, jet skis are fast, loud and exciting! These sleek machines are a fun way to see the coast and possibly spot a dolphin or turtle.

No matter what you choose, there is an extreme Coastal Adventure waiting for you!

If you’re out walking on the beach at sunrise, you’ll probably encounter SCUTE volunteers. SCUTE, or South Carolina United Turtle Enthusiasts, is a group of volunteers dedicated to sea turtle conser-vation in Georgetown and Horry coun-ties. The volunteers identify and protect

turtle nests on the beach – you’ll see signs and protective netting around nests.The Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta)

became South Carolina’s state reptile in 1988. While loggerheads are considered the most common

species of saltwater turtle in the United States, their num-bers are dwindling, and they have been on the threatened species list since the late 1970s.

Named for their large, log-shaped heads, loggerhead turtles have a reddish-brown shell, or carapace. They eat mainly jellyfish and crabs, but have also been known to eat fish and even seaweed. Loggerheads are the largest species of hard-shelled turtle, with males weighing 250 pounds on average.

Female loggerheads can mysteriously find their way back to the same beach on which they were hatched in order to lay their eggs. Once they reach their destination – often hundreds of miles away – they make their way ashore late at night and dig a large hole in which they deposit as many as 125 eggs.

Nests are made during the mid-to-late summer and are primarily found along the Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina coasts. Depending on the temperature, incuba-tion in South Carolina lasts between 53-68 days. Once a female has laid her eggs, she covers the nest with sand and returns to the ocean, leaving her brood to hatch on their own. Hatch-lings climb out of the nest and make their way to the ocean.

Sadly, only a handful of young turtles survive into adulthood. Because they rely on the moon’s reflection to lead them to the sea, they are often confused by man-made lights coming from beachfront homes and street lamps, which lead them in the opposite direction of the ocean. Many communities have instituted “lights-out programs” to help combat this problem.

Besides artificial lights and predators, there are many other threats to loggerhead turtles, such as land development, commercial fishing and shrimping, poaching, beach vitex and offshore drilling. Besides SCUTE, many groups have been formed to protect this amazing reptile.

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,

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 along the Grand Strand. Most children we know love Mexican food,


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.

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 $12.50.

Local chefs take pride in taking the freshest ingredients and creating culinary masterpieces. On the south end of the Strand, in Georgetown, Alfresco Bistro and 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 and Bistro 217, both small and locally-owned, have loyal followings, while Frank’s provides great food and a laid back, fun atmosphere. Austin’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 Collector’s Café combines culinary art with some of the area’s best visual artists’ work for a unique dining experience. Ciao Italian Restaurant, another Myrtle Beach local’s favorite, pairs delicious, expertly prepared food with the perfect wine for a memorable meal.

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!

The Tidelands of Georgetown County have been inhabited for nearly 50,000 years, most of these by Native Americans, who lived in harmony with nature, leaving the land largely undisturbed. The first Europeans came to the area in the 1500s, and by the early 1700s, Georgetown had been transformed into a bustling seaport.

The export of pine, turpentine and pitch were the first wealth producing industry, but soon, new uses for land were developed. Roy-al Blue Indigo was a coveted dye in England, and since indigo grew wild along the coast, it was logical to begin to cultivate this valuable crop. Indigo is the rarest of dyes, as blue is the most difficult color to produce in a dye. Trade was brisk and fortunes were made. This was the beginning of the aristocratic plantation society that would hold sway until after the Civil War.

By the end of the 18th century, indigo was being widely produced and prices

fell. This led Georgetown planters to turn to rice production. Over 40,000 acres of cypress swamp were cleared and 780 miles of canals dug for the production of Carolina Gold rice. This rice was highly prized, and the growing of it was perfected until the county’s average production was 32,000,000 bushels per year, with the best year bring-ing 56,000,000 bushels. For over a century, this single agricultural crop sustained the economy of Georgetown County.

The wealth produced by rice created an af-fluent society. Many large elegant plantations were built along the area rivers. Planters and their families were educated and well traveled. Pawleys Island and Litchfield became the nation’s first “resort areas,” as planter’s families stayed there for much of the summer to avoid malaria caused by mosquitoes.

Unfortunately, all of this came with a high human price. Rice cultivation was impos-sible without a large labor force and enslaved

humans became the accepted norm. With the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of the Civil War, slavery was abolished. This combined with several major hurricanes destroyed rice cultivation in Georgetown County. What was once one of the wealthiest areas in the world soon became one of the poorest.

The early part of the twentieth century saw many parts of the county become hunting and fishing preserves for the rich and powerful. Hobcaw Barony became such a retreat, created by native son Bernard Baruch, who enjoyed the visits of F.D.R., Churchill, Vanderbilt, DuPont, and others. With the con-struction of the Intracoastal Waterway, Georgetown again came into the spotlight as the Waccamaw River was used as the final link between Maine and Miami. The Kings Highway followed the river, linking

the area plantations together.Today, the beauty of Georgetown

County draws visitors from all over the world. Most surviving plantations are private homes and not open to the pub-lic. However, once a year, at the end of March, Prince George Episcopal Church holds annual plantation tours that give limited access to many of these stately private residences. Hopsewee Plantation, located on Highway 17, approximately 12 miles south of Georgetown is open to

the public and tours of the home are avail-able. Hobcaw Barony, located on Highway 17, just north of the bridge into George-town, is now a wildlife preserve and research

laboratory for the state’s universities. Tours are available.

Established in 1718, on the banks of the Black River in Georgetown, Mansfield Plantation is widely recognized as the most

well preserved antebellum rice plantation in the United States. Located on nearly 1,000 acres, Mansfield is now operated as a bed and breakfast and is available for special events. To experience life as it must have been in the antebellum south, visit www.mansfieldplantation.com.

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.

The idea for the hammock came from 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 crack-ers. An oyster roast usually takes place outside, near the fire where the oysters are prepared. They are usually eaten while standing 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, sau-sage, corn, potatoes, onions and seasoning.

Featured in a recent edition of USA Today, Brian and Sassy Henry are local entre-preneurs 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 and became available at nearly 600 Wal-Mart stores early in 2012. You can pick up a tub in most local grocery stores.

In 1946, Justin and Eloise Plyler opened a small gift shop on Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach. Now, the Gay Dolphin Gift Cove is the largest gift shop on the East Coast, with 26,000 square feet and 70,000 items, rang-

I N D u L G E S O u t H E r N S t Y L E

ing from shark’s teeth to Hummel figurines. Before opening the store, Mr. Plyler loved to watch the dolphins through his telescope and always thought they looked happy and ap-peared to be smiling. This is where the store’s unique name originated. Today, Mr. Plyler’s son, Buzz, continues to manage the store.

Most any gift shop in our area has merchandise featuring the South Carolina flag symbols, the Palmetto tree and crescent moon. Our beautiful flag, with its navy back-ground and white palmetto tree and crescent moon are emblazoned on everything from tee shirts to linens to stickers for your car. There is even a popular bracelet done in silver featuring the iconic image.

William B. Canipe started his own candy business in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1964. After years of working in the Charlotte area, and selling candy to retailers in and

around Myrtle Beach, and after finishing col-lege, Mr. Canipe’s son, Todd, opened a candy store, Wee-R-Sweets in Barefoot Landing. Eventually, the company moved its manu-facturing plant from Charlotte to Longs, South Carolina, just outside of Myrtle Beach. Today, the company has a Wee-R-Sweets in Barefoot Landing and Broadway at the Beach, as well as two Canipe’s candy stores in Coastal Grand Mall and Market Common. Their delicious chocolate and other confec-tions are definitely worth the extra calories! South Carolina has long been famous for its bountiful and delicious crops of pecans. Young’s Pecans in Florence, about 75 miles from Myrtle Beach, has been selling these delicious nuts since the 1920s. These high quality nuts are available at various locations around the Grand Strand.

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


An afternoon or evening enjoying a live performance is a pleasure to be savored. Carolina Opry, started by Calvin Gilmore in 1986, has some exciting additions to their lineup this year that are sure to provide a memo-rable evening. Coastal Carolina University in Conway and our own Long Bay Symphony both have a full calendar of events from September through May. Local talent shines in our community and 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.

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.

Most people visiting our area enjoy spending time on the beach; walking, swimming or just sitting and enjoying the view. Often, visitors to the Grand Strand are surprised by the rise and fall of the tides each day, and our tidal range, meaning the distance between high and low tide, which can be as much as 4-8 feet. Controlled by the moon’s gravity, the tides control many day to day activities along the Grand Strand. If you spend any time boating you already know how important it is to be aware of the tides before you leave the dock.

The moon’s gravity draws a bulge of water to the moonward side of the earth. A second bulge, generally of lesser height, is created on the opposite side due to the centrifugal force of the spinning earth. These two bulges each day result in high tides. The two troughs on either side result in low tides. Due to the difference in the time it takes the moon to rotate the Earth (28 days) and the number of hours in the day (24), tomorrow’s high tide will be 24 hours and 52 minutes later than today’s.

Interestingly, not all tides are of the same height. As the moon orbits the earth, it alternates between a straight line with the earth and sun, and right angles. During new moons and full moons, this straight alignment combines the gravitational pull of the sun and moon, produc-ing higher highs and lower lows called spring tides. Neap tides are of lesser amplitude and occur during quartering moons. Each week we transition from one to the other. In addition, the moon’s orbit is elliptical. When a spring tide coincides with the moon being at its closest point of approach (perigee) we get tides as large as 10 to 11 feet. A strong easterly wind can have the same effect.

South Carolina and Georgia sit in the South Atlantic Bight. (A “bight” is a loop in a rope or an arc shape.) The implications of this geophysical fact are quite amazing. As the earth rotates east encountering the bulge we call high tide, the shape of our coast in the South Atlantic Bight, along with our shallow water, act as a funnel causing water to “bunch up” in our area, often several times higher than other parts of the coast, a big contrast to the one or two foot tides of South Florida.

Enjoy swimming in the ocean, but be aware of the tide. During low tide, the waves will be calmer and currents should be calm, just right for a relaxing swim, while high tide brings stronger currents and larger waves, perfect for body surfing or skimming the water on your boogie board!
