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.

The stories were amazing and full of local culture and history. I wish the stops were a little more to see and a little more interesting.

I am so glad that you enjoyed what this tour is all about, our folklore and history. The three brief stops serve as a mere introduction to that wonderful part of the world a 1/2 hour and more south of Myrtle Beach. In this two-hour tour, we give you the information that you need to return to the area on your own and experience how amazing these places are on your own. It would take days to spend quality time at each of the locations you learn about on the tour. It is well worth it to come back again and again to visit them all. Thanks for being a part of our experience.

Thank you for this. You all were such a pleasure to have aboard. I am so glad that you enjoyed it. I do love telling these stories. You're right, Marvin Grant (aka The Hammock Man) is a treasure!
