Something odd happens between Surfside Beach and Murrells Inlet when motorists turn off U.S. 17 Business onto Atlantic Avenue.

 

The development is so seamless along that part of 17 a visitor scarcely notices they’re in a village called Garden City. But once that eastward turn is made, their cars pass through a tunnel of live oaks that’s a gateway to a slower, serener world.

 

The passageway goes by tidy shaded mobile homes, then suddenly gives way to bright sunshine winking on the calm waters of Murrells Inlet. A causeway, where people often fish and dip crab lines, passes over the inlet and leads to the sandy haven called Garden City Beach.
