Vereen Botanical – Great Hiking & Scenery Along The ICW

If you looking for a quiet place to getaway, do some hiking and just relax, this might very well be the place for you.

Hidden away off of Highway 17 on the SC/NC border is the Vereen Botanical Garden. It is one of the few places in the area where you can actually walk right down to the shoreline of the Intracoastal Waterway with nearly no one around you…just the sights and sounds of the marshland and the Maritime forest. The map below is GPS tracking log of a hike that we took at Vereen the 1st week in April.

Browse through the pictures we took along the way and you’ll see what a beautifully, unspoiled area it is. We encourage you to visit on your next Myrtle Beach vacation. Pack a lunch and a couple chairs and sit on the deck overlooking the ICW or just relax along the shoreline.

New Nature Preserve Opens in Cherry Grove!

Amidst the all concrete, the high rise hotels and the commercialism that Myrtle Beach has to offer, a little slice of peace, tranquility and nature has taken shape in what is the only parcel of land in Cherry Grove that has not fallen victim to the developer's bulldozers! Located just adjacent to the public boat ramp at 53rd St is the entrance to Heritage Shores Nature Preserve. It took a couple years to bring this project to fruition, but it was well worth the wait. Our hats off and our thanks to Marilyn Hatley, Mayor of the City of North Myrtle Beach who was instrumental in many phases of this project. It is a wonderful testament to those who believe in setting aside a beautiful parcel of land like this for the public use and enjoyment.
