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.
