Myrtle Beach Area Ghosts, Pirates and Historic Families Trolley Tour

Overview
Take a half-hour ride south of Myrtle Beach on a climate-controlled trolley to the fishing community of Murrells Inlet, SC, and beyond. Hear the quintessential ghost stories that locals have grown up with, background on the pirates who were said to have frequented the local shores 300 years ago, and historical commentary on the influential families who lived in the area and helped shape our nation's history. IF YOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO SPEND TIME AT AREA ATTRACTIONS, THIS IS NOT THE TOUR FOR YOU. This 2-hour narrated tour serves as an introduction to wonderful places that we will be passing by that you'll want to come back and visit, while conveying a great deal of local folklore and history along the way. BRIEF STOPS, where passengers will hop off for just a FEW MINUTES, include The Pawleys Island Hammock Shops Village and at a photo-worthy overlook in Murrells Inlet. Board at 9:45 AM in front of the Grand 14 Theater at The Market Common. GUESTS MUST BE AT LEAST 3 YEARS OLD FOR THIS TOUR.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the tour especially the Historic Pawleys Island Hammock Shops Village. The tour is a mere introduction to a myriad of wonderful places to visit in that part of the world. We cover a lot of territory in two hours and encourage our guests to return to their favorite places. Those places don't ask us to do that, I genuinely love the attractions that I mention and hope that our guests will too. For those considering taking this tour, please know that we only make 3 BRIEF stops. We hop off and on for only a FEW MINUTES. This is not the tour for you if want to spend time at attractions. You'll need to go back later for that, but you will get a lot of history and folklore during the tour.
