As we entered the ICW rounding Sullivan's Island, this old seawall with a fortification still remained
Traveling down the Wacamaw River part of the ICW was said to be the prettiest part of the waterway on the East Coast. While not as pretty as some of the midwest areas, (predjudiced), it was pretty. Lots of woods similar to the north woods and wildlife. Here is a nest with osprey.

These trees with the overhanging moss and hole were interesting along with the cypress knees along the waterline.
This was just one of the bridges we had to wait to open along the way. We spent one night in Georgetown and bought some fresh shrimp and crab from the local seafood place on Saturday afternoon just before it closed. We had hoped to spend more time in this quaint town, but as in many small towns, absolutely nothing was open on Sunday so we moved on......Nearing Myrtle Beach, this is a privately built and privately maintained 65' bridge across the waterway leading to a gated community on the ocean side !Also in Myrtle Beach is the overhead cable car system which transports golfers from one side of the waterway to the rest of the golf course on the opposite side !Arriving in North Myrtle Beach, we rested at a marina which has its own resident alligator. Looks to be about 8' long. There still were some ducks swimming around here though.......
