A favorite day trip of ours when visiting Myrtle Beach is Brookgreen Gardens at Huntington Beach State Park. The park is a stunning 2,500 acres of the largest and most comprehensive collections of American figurative sculpture in the country. Be sure to wander a bit and see the indoor galleries, lowcountry zoo, and botanical garden. Read more about Brookgreen Gardens and nearby Atalaya Castle (the home of Archer & Anna).
A note on photography: visitors are encouraged to take photographs of the gardens and artwork for personal use, however, any commercial use, reproduction, or sale, directly or online, of any images is strictly prohibited. For more visit the Photography at Brookgreen Gardens page.
