Hello! Welcome to the beach! I am a sixth-generation South Carolinian on my mom's side, born in the state capitol and raised in a small town in the Upstate. My dad's parents were from Sweden, and I have always loved being by the ocean. I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina, and I have a Master's Degree from Winthrop. My first career was as a first-grade teacher in the public schools of the Palmetto State. As a young mother, I moved with my family to Myrtle Beach in 1982, and looking back, I have to say this is when I became truly happy. I love the feeling I get with sand under my feet. I have seen Myrtle Beach grow and change, and all the while, I have appreciated its beauty and charm. I am a friendly and enthusiastic person, and what I want is for you to experience the beauty of the natural parts of Myrtle Beach as I have. I will customize your tour to your needs and interests, making sure, as we drive around the area, that you see its special pockets and alleyways, and not just the tourist areas that most visitors see. We will also talk about the area today, its economy, the way we live, what we like to eat and do for fun, our schools and institutions, and anything else you might have questions about. At the end of our tour, you will be comfortable, almost like a local, and you will know the best spots for a drink, for music, or just for coffee. You will also take with you my personal preferred restaurant list, mapped out with pricing, comments, and phone numbers. Welcome to the beach! It will be my pleasure to share with you my affection and love for our engaging Carolina beach town.

When most people think of Myrtle Beach, they picture sun, sand & waves—but there’s another side to this coastal town that’s waiting to be discovered. On this tour, we'll visit a gem of a museum which showcases both regional and national artists. To give you some context, I am a native South Carolinian. I began to be an appreciator of art at ten years old, when Mr. Steve McCrae, the new Director of Art Services of Springs Industries, and his family, moved in next door to my family. The museum we'll visit is the actual beach house which the McCrae family and mine often vacationed in when I was a teenager! It was moved to its current setting on a house-moving truck in 1984. I will be delighted to share this important landmark of our town and of my childhood memories with you, and to take you on into the arts scene in MB. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just curious to see another side of Myrtle Beach, this tour offers a unique and inspiring experience you won’t forget.
-Once we've gathered, we'll start our tour with a visit to the charming Myrtle Beach Art Museum. -From there, we’ll take a scenic drive to admire some of the city’s most striking public art, including downtown murals and the impressive 250-foot Wyland Wall. -We then will visit the William H. Miller Gallery, with an optional stop at Pinnacle Bank, where a delightful permanent exhibit of small ceiling sculptures would delight the moment you step into their soaring lobby. -To wrap up our art-filled adventure, we’ll visit the Locals Gallery at The Market Common. -At last, I will drop you off. Beaux Arts to all!
