Why go?

• Plan your trip around these upcoming events: Halloween on the Marshwalk (Tuesday, Oct. 31) + Nights of a Thousand Candles at Brookgreen Gardens (Saturday, Nov. 25-Sunday, Dec. 31)

Act like a local:

• Experience: From seafood spots to live music and beachy cocktails (Don’t Miss: The Mullet Hut’s Rum-a-rita), plan to spend an afternoon or evening exploring the Murrells Inlet Marshwalk. Pro Tip: Visit during Taste of the Marshwalk (winter 2024) for small plates and a Bloody Mary competition.
• Outdoors: One of my favorite spots in SC, Huntington Beach State Park, boasts protected coastline. Pro tip: Park at the north beach access and walk 1.5 miles north to the jetty — you won’t find better views at sunrise and sunset.

• Pro tip: Use a propane-powered fire pit for an easy, smokeless burn. This Amazon Basics gas fire pit makes a great home patio addition or camping buddy.
