🌿 Day 2: Nature, History & Local Flavor

☕ Morning: Coffee & Brookgreen Gardens

Watch the sun rise out of the horizon over the ocean at Litchfield Beach, then grab coffee and pastry from Pawleys Island Bakery and head to Brookgreen Gardens—just a short drive away.

EXPLORE

🛶 Afternoon: Kayaking or Paddleboarding

Rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore the saltwater creeks and marshes. Guided tours are available and offer a chance to spot dolphins, herons, and other wildlife.
