Though the family resorts line much of Myrtle Beach, nature is never too far distant, and we found some delightful places to experience some of South Carolina’s many natural wonders. Closest of all - a short walk down the beach – is Myrtle Beach State Park, featuring a wide open beach, a fishing pier (this was where Tim caught his shark) and meandering paths through oceanfront maritime forest. Huntington Beach State park features a bizarre Moorish-style winter mansion, superlative bird watching and chance to see alligators in the wild. But the star attraction is Brookgreen Gardens, the “floral jewel of South Carolina’s coastal community” – a glorious mix of impressive sculpture and native fauna set in verdant landscaped gardens at the edge of southern swamplands.
