Flights from Timmins to Myrtle Beach

Beyond the beach

Venture beyond the beach during your trip from Timmins, with a day in gorgeous Georgetown County. Only 30 minutes away from Myrtle Beach by car, Georgetown County makes it easy to get away from the bustling beach crowds.

Immerse yourself in the unique ecosystems of South Carolina in Georgetown County’s Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge. With wooded wetlands and freshwater marshlands, this area boasts a variety of striking landscapes. For a beachier scene, seek out the three mile stretch of sand through Huntington Beach State Park.

Balance scenery with history in Brookgreen Gardens. What began as a rice plantation has become one of the county’s most intriguing artistic features. Over the course of this estate’s 50 acres, you’ll find 1,400 sculptures spread throughout the grounds. The first sculpture garden in the United States, Brookgreen Gardens’ collection spans across eras and styles. The sculptures are just the start of Brookgreen Gardens’ attractions with botanical gardens, a zoo, and wildlife exhibits also on site.

Learn more about the importance of rice to the growth of Georgetown County by visiting the Rice Museum. This crop was crucial to Georgetown’s development, and in 1840 the region was producing half of America’s total rice crop. Situated in the Town Clock and Tower building, the museum’s venue previously served the city as a jail and a courthouse.

If you’re looking for more museums, Georgetown won’t disappoint. Explore an authentic antebellum-era home in the Kaminski House Museum. In the South Carolina Maritime Museum, the area’s seafaring past is in the spotlight.

As you make your way back to Myrtle Beach, be sure to stop in at Murrell’s Inlet. With the quaint character of a fishing village and tasty seafood restaurants to match, this stop will give you memories to savour long after you’ve returned to Timmins.

Waves of adventure

Take your trip from Timmins to the heart of South Carolina’s natural splendour, with a visit to Myrtle Beach State Park.

Situated in the midst of a lush seaside forest, this park’s maritime ecosystem offers a refreshing change from the bustling Grand Strand’s standard sandy surroundings. Enjoy the serene retreat of these waterfront woods as you explore another side of Myrtle Beach.

While the woodlands of this state park are the star of the shore, there are still plenty of places here to stroll the seaside. Step onto soft white sands without worrying about the crowds in this state park’s seashore section. Get even closer to the ocean along the park’s fishing pier. Attracting anglers from all over, these blue waters are home to species like trout, mackerel, and bluefish.

Put down your fishing rod and pick up the pace along the trail system that traces through Myrtle Beach State Park. With paths framed by magnolia trees and wax myrtles, every trek takes the scenic route. The coastal ecosystem of South Carolina shines on the Sculptured Oak Trail and Yaupon Nature Trail, with informative signs educating visitors about the species that compose the maritime forest.

After a walk in the woods, step onto the park’s boardwalk. With surf and sand as far as the eye can see, a stroll along this trail will provide you with warm memories to bring home to Timmins.
