Vareen Gardens sits right on the border of S.C. and N.C. across from the rest area for S.C. –

On route 17!

Little River!

Coming across this shell hanging from a tree –

You see thousands of sea shells with notations on them –

Hanging high and low and in between.

Names – dates – poems and sayings.

We have hung the same as have our family and friends.

The path to and from the ICW beach area is woods – marsh and channels of water.

A wooden walkway traverses across the marsh for hundreds of yards!

You can stop and see the wonders of the marsh you are walking over –

both high and low tides.

Sherry on one of the walkways from island to island.

Across the marsh you see a golf course-

The path also goes on land through the trees winding in and out.

This was a staple back in my early years along with quart bottles of COLT 45!

There also is a large fishing pier at the end of one of the trails that sit right on the ICW!

Also – you can step out on the shell-covered shore of the ICW and watch the boat traffic race up and down the channel!

You can sit on a bank of shells – 10,000 or thousands of them.

Across from this shoreline – sometimes Eagles can be seen.

Sherry – with granddaughter on one of our many visits – sits on the bank of shells –

hunting for that perfect one to write on and then hang from a tree branch.

Vareen Gardens is an excellent way to spend time with family and friends.

The cost is ZERO although there is a donation box.
