We happened to be in the gardens at high tide, so we missed the beach along the ICW.

Vereen Memorial Gardens marshes
The Vereen Gardens are right at the NC and So.Carolina border. We've been doing a lot of beach walks and opted for a marsh walk day. The Vereen Gardens were just the gem we were looking for.
Lots of kingfishers, herons, egrets, and the like were out this beautiful sunny day. The boardwalk bridges in the park are really nice to get into and around the marshes.
The original Varin family (Vereen derivation) came to So Carolina in 1680. A daughter married into the Horry family. Little River, where we're located, is Horry County. A few generations later, a Vereen son (Jeremiah 1706-1768) had children that settled in the Little River area and the Gardens are so named after this historical family.
