Things to Do in Conway
​
Venturing outside for a day on the water, whether boating, fishing or kayaking is a top activity in Conway. There are several nature preserves nearby, including Cox Ferry Lake Recreation Area, which has a boat ramp, bike trails and hiking. The scenic, approximately 55,000 acre Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge is another draw, as it is located a short drive away. It boasts many opportunities to spot wildlife such as bald eagles, ospreys and alligators while fishing, biking, hiking or kayaking.
​
Visiting the Horry County Museum and learning more about the history of Conway is another good option. Though many Conway residents fought in the American Revolution, it was initially named Kingston, partly in reference to the large amount of Tories who lived there. A number of battles took place in areas such as Black Lake and Bear Bluff, both near Kingston. After the war ended, the name was changed to Conwayborough, to honor General Robert Conway and move away from the loyalist roots.
​
With many listings on the National Register of Historic Places, including the City Hall, which was designed by the same architect responsible for the Washington Monument, as well as a vibrant downtown filled with historic points of interest, boutiques, casual and fine dining options, Conway is a great place to visit or live.
