Route description
South Carolina 73 began and ended at US 17 Bus., with the southern terminus at Springmaid Beach and the northern terminus at Briarcliffe Acres.
Ocean Boulevard is a major point during the annual Bi-Lo Marathon; full and half marathon runners head south during the first loop of the course, and for full marathon runners only, they head northbound for the second loop.
