Brookgreen Gardens ticket is good for 7 days so go on the first day or two and again later in the week.
Definitely take the Atalaya tour.
If you have bikes, easy to ride up to the entrance and then take the bike path south to come restaurants, grocery store (have to cross 17 though) and ice cream shop. North the trail I believe now goes all the way to Murrells Inlet.
All the waterfront restaurants in Murrells Inlet are expensive but usually have good food. If you haven't been, highly recommend Medieval Times dinner show. We are tired of the show, but still go back on occasion when we can get a discount because the food is just so good.
If you are coming down I26 from the west, grab 301N (or just stay on I26) to I95N to 261 (exit 119) into Manning which drops you onto 521 then over to 17N. This will bring you in from the south and avoid the Myrtle Beach Traffic. Word of caution on the route, after you make the zig in Georgetown, stay in the left lane until you see the bridge as the trees are close to road which leans you into them.
If you like to shop, also make a trip down to Pawleys Island, only a few miles back down. You will see the shops as you drive north on 17.
Have fun and spend lots of money, SC can use it. I return the favor when I visit Cades Cove and my daughter in Knoxville.
