Fall on the South Carolina coast has its own rhythm: a little cooler, a little quieter, and full of local traditions. Here are a few ideas for this week around Murrells Inlet and the Grand Strand.
24th Annual Chilympics - Sunday, November 15
One more good reason to spend a fall Sunday in Murrells Inlet: Wicked Tuna's events calendar lists the 24th Annual Chilympics for Sunday, November 15. The event is hosted by Murrells Inlet Leisure Friends to benefit the Sea Beyond Foundation. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Wicked Tuna, 4123 Highway 17 Business. Check the host for any last-minute updates.
Art in the Park - November 14-15
If you enjoy browsing local art and crafts, Art in the Park is listed for November 14-15 at Valor Park in The Market Common. The Market Common confirms hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, at Valor Park, 1120 Farrow Parkway, Myrtle Beach.
Coming soon: Wonderland of Lights
The MarshWalk's Wonderland of Lights is scheduled to start November 27 and continue through December 31. A walk through the lights is a sweet way to welcome the holiday season in the Inlet.
My local tip
November is a wonderful time to revisit the beach, stop for coffee in a favorite neighborhood, and enjoy the less-crowded coastal pace. Whether you're a longtime local or considering a move, these little traditions are a big part of life here.
