The pond in the Lazy Gator’s front yard is home to Callie the alligator. Having lived there for 10 years prior to the gift shop moving in, Callie was the inspiration for the store’s name and is perfectly at home in this pond under the oaks. Occasionally a customer catches a glimpse of the gator as it lazily swims from bank to bank before returning to its watery hole beneath the building.

The Lazy Gator has over 15,000 square feet of unique gifts, collectibles and Christmas items located across from the waterfront Marshwalk and Divine Fish House in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.

Come and "get lazy" in the old fashioned rocking chairs on the low country style wraparound porch. Visit our homemade fudge and gourmet coffee bar, where you'll also find specialized jams, sauces, dressings and dips. Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere as you browse through nautical gifts, home and garden decor items, jewelry, toys, apparel, stuffed animals, sea shells, a large variety of greeting cards and much, much more.

Whether you are looking for that special gift, souvenir, or unique nautical item to decorate with, there is something for everyone at the Lazy Gator. And if you're traveling, anything you purchase can be conveniently shipped to your home or destination via UPS.

So come, sit a spell, relax and enjoy, but please -- don't feed the gator!
