Local Tip: After your tour, stop by the storefronts located in some of the old motel rooms alongside the main building.

2. Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum

For 13 years before the museum first opened to the public in 1997, a small group of local visionaries came together to start something great. The Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum was given the Verner Award in 2013 for its role as an advocate and supporter of the arts.

5. Atalaya Castle

Located in Murrells Inlet, Atalaya Castle provides a glimpse into the past as you walk through the halls of this Moorish-style castle. This historic landmark was constructed in the early 1930s to help support the regional economy during the Great Depressions.

Local Tip: Visit during the early mornings in winter and spring to witness a magical light through the vines when the castle is quiet and serene.

6. Wild Woods Farm

Located in Conway, Wild Woods Farm has a variety of exhibits to highlight animals from all over the world. They strive to create a fun and interactive experience for all ages with plenty of opportunities to learn about the animals.
