Garden City Beach, SC

---

Are you looking for peace and quiet? Garden City Beach has it. The great outdoors? That too. How about fine dining and family-friendly nightlife? Look no further than the five miles of gorgeous sand that make up Garden City Beach!

The majority of the area sits on a narrow peninsula sandwiched between the tidal marshes of Murrells Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean, meaning that most properties enjoy a beautiful view from both the ocean and the marsh! The beaches are quiet and uncrowded (even in the peak of summer,) and Murrells Inlet is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, with fishing, boating, crabbing and much more.

If you're looking for something a little more lively, just cruise on up to Atlantic Avenue, the social center of Garden City Beach. This two-block area is home to many of the area's most popular attractions and there's always something for the entire family. Sam's Corner with its world-famous hot dogs has become an annual tradition for thousands of vacationers, and the Pier at Garden City attracts fishermen and sightseers alike with its nearly 700 feet of fun. You can almost always count on seeing sharks!

Further south, Marlin Quay Marina boasts a world-class charter fleet, with offerings ranging from half-day inshore trips targeting flounder, trout and red drum to full-day Gulf Stream adventures with tuna, dolphin (mahi-mahi,) wahoo and billfish making regular appearances at the weigh station. The Gulfstream Café is here as well, with its spectacular food and even more spectacular sunsets. Their Sunday brunch buffet just hits the spot!

To top it all off, Garden City Beach also boasts the closest oceanfront accommodations to both Murrells Inlet and to Brookgreen Gardens, one of the world's largest outdoor sculpture gardens. Take all this, add in the fact that it's just minutes away from Myrtle Beach, and you've got the recipe for a true one-of-a-kind family vacation.
