Their house is a 10 minute drive to the beach so we went every day. Mainly we walked and looked for shells. I'm not super into laying out or swimming so we didn't hang out at the beach all day. The beach they go to is actually a state park, so it's really clean and not super crowded. At one point you drive over a land bridge with salt water on one side (that rises and falls with the tides) and fresh water on the other side (with alligators!).
One of the little islands with some gators.
The beach.
Every day we would walk down to the jetty and back, which was about 2.5 miles round trip. It felt really nice to wake up and walk on the beach.
Great Falls has hardly anything in the way of shopping so we hit up the outlet malls one afternoon when it was rainy. I got a $95 Columbia jacket for 15 bucks, it was pretty awesome.
We also went down to the boardwalk in Murrells Inlet. It has a bunch of shops and restaurants along the water.
Across from the boardwalk is this island that randomly has goats living on it.
One day driving home we saw this USA shaped hole in the clouds.
On the last day we went up to Broadway at the Beach because it's Justin's favorite place at Myrtle Beach.
And here's the new giant ferris wheel down by the beach, with its air conditioned capsules.
While we were there we also went to Brookgreen Gardens but I'll save that for another post because I took way too many pictures.
3 cheers for the beach!
