Founded in 1734 as Kingston Township in honor of Britain’s reigning King George II, Conway has managed to retain the charm of an era long gone while catering to the needs of a growing population and emerging community of artisans. The arts are alive and thriving in Conway with an art walk through the downtown every first Sat morning and a full production stage theatre presenting a variety of dramas, comedies, and musicals throughout the year. The bed and breakfast options in Conway also continue to demonstrate that old town charm and hospitality while providing all the comforts expected by discerning travelers. In the mid 1800’s F.G. Burroughs of Conway SC began a small turpentine industry that grew quickly on the Waccamaw River opening a trail all the way to the ocean. He sold parcels of beach front property for $50 each and began the development of what has become a major beach resort town. No longer a stop on the way to Myrtle Beach, Conway has now become a haven for visitors and people who want to be near the beach but enjoy the peace and serenity found in a small town. Enjoy a stay in an old 1914 bed and breakfast farm house on the edge of town or a bed and breakfast inn near the river. Taste the delicacies in our local pastry shops, restaurants and downtown shopping. Stroll down the river walk along the Waccamaw River. Walk among the many Live Oaks draped in Spanish moss. Come to Conway to enjoy all the charms of yesterday with all the excitement of the beach just minutes away.
