It is the largest county in South Carolina in land area (1,134 square miles), Myrtle Beach is its largest city, tourism is its largest industry, and Conway is its county seat.

Meet Ranger Atkins! My Border Collie
This is my new buddy. We walk everyday to the pond nearby and back to the swamp and check out the wildlife. Ranger likes a treat and we stop and do some obedience training and then he gets his treats as we are on our adventures. A new addition to the routine has been added this week; fish food for the pond creatures! Now Ranger watches as the food is thrown out and he waits to see the fish comes up to eat. That's enough about us for today!
