Food scene
Of course, there are all the major chains and other touristy spots. Those are very easy to find. We tried to compile a list of places that didn't feel too corporate.
Boardwalk Billy's is good for couples, friends, and families alike. There is even a safe play area where kids can play. We enjoy this restaurant because the kids can play while we have an adult conversation and beverage.

Great breakfast. They even have healthy options. Ryan likes the fresh fruit salad. Of course, they have greasy stuff too.

The entire area around this restaurant is so worth checking out. Little River is a neat place to walk around. It just feels so different than the more corporate areas.

Sightseeing
"Brookgreen Gardens"
We love going to Brookgreen in the spring. The azaleas and dogwoods are amazing! But, it is a pleasant walk most times of the year. There is also an old plantation that tells the history of slavery in the area. It's an amazing place.
Brookgreen Gardens is a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve, located just south of Murrells Inlet, in South Carolina. The 9,100-acre property includes several themed gardens featuring American figurative sculptures, the Lowcountry Zoo, and trails through several ecosystems in nature reserves on the property.

Ripley's has amazing aquariums. Keep in mind that it can get VERY crowded on rainy days. Still, the aquariums are pretty amazing.
