Though not actually a city, Garden City is a lovely seaside community straddling the eastern marshlands of South Carolina and the Atlantic Ocean. The neighborhood is a fantastic destination for spring break and summer vacationers, especially for those seeking to avoid the rowdier shores of nearby Myrtle Beach. You’ve got a wild selection of fun activities to do, starting with the usual watersports such as surfing and parasailing at Crazy Sister Marina. Foodies can gorge on delectable South Carolina-style seafood barbecue, while prospective anglers can take a fishing charter at Black River Outdoors and face off against the tuna and mahi-mahi living in the Atlantic.
Whether you’re planning to hit the waters or enjoy the community experience, you can make your vacation memorable not just for yourself but also for your pet. To help you look for a place to stay, check out these pet-friendly rentals in Garden City, South Carolina.
