Whispering Wings Butterfly Experience

Hilary — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:12:30 +0000

Enjoy the Whispering Wings Butterfly Experience at Brookgreen Gardens!

“Imagine yourself in a place where the brilliance and delicate fragrance of tropical flowers blend with the sound of water as it gently tumbles over rocks in a stream. Hundreds of butterflies flutter back and forth as if trying to decide which they like best: the flowers’ sweet nectar or a refreshing dip in the pool. Then, one of these beautiful creatures lightly lands on your finger. You want to focus your camera and capture the image but you hesitate, knowing at the first sign of movement, the butterfly will fly away. So you sit quietly, captivated by the beauty of your visit to Brookgreen’s Butterfly House.

The butterfly house contains a pupae emergence room where you can observe the transformation from chrysalis to adult butterflies. Interpretive signs throughout the exhibit describe the life cycle of butterflies and the important role they play in our environment. The exhibit is open daily April – October, and tickets are $3 for adults and $2 for children in addition to garden admission.” –Brookgreen Gardens

Your trip to Brookgreen Gardens will be one for the entire family to remember! The beauty of the sculptures and the serenity of the gardens create an oasis just off of the oceanfront.

Hilary — Wed, 08 May 2013 18:57:59 +0000

Experience the beach like you never have before. Myrtle Beach offers some of the best places to take in the sun and sand along the East Coast! Year after year, no matter what attractions or new resorts are built, it is the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean that draws visitors from across the globe to the Grand Strand. Be sure that while you are here enjoying our shopping, dining, and entertainment that you take time to experience the ocean.

The Grand Strand’s Top Beach Access Spots:

Cherry Grove Pier: Take in a view like no other! With the only two story observation deck at any privately owned pier in the Myrtle Beach area and record catches, the Cherry Grove Pier is 985 feet of fishing fun for the entire family.

Myrtle Beach Boardwalk: In the heart of Myrtle Beach, the Boardwalk offers a stretch of sand with access to many of the best attractions in the area!

Huntington Beach State Park: Located north of Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, you can enjoy the beach in its natural state. Nature trails, bird watching, shell gathering along an unspoiled oceanfront!

Cabana District: This unique stretch of beach can be found along north Ocean Boulevard, here there are no hotels or business on the ocean-side of the boulevard. The only structures are small cabanas between the road and the beach, with a mysterious past!

Beach Drive: Surrounded by mostly residential homes, this area never seems to be busy even in the height of summer. Enjoy some of the most beautiful homes in Myrtle Beach and the uncrowded sand.
Pawley’s Island: On the far south end of the Grand Strand is one of the few non-commercial oceanfront communities remaining on the East Coast. Visit the shops, enjoy the delicious dining, and explore some of the nearby 18th century plantations.
