Myrtle Beach (also known as
South Carolina’s Grand Strand) is gifted with blue
skies, lotsa of sand, lots of sunshine, and gentle breezes.
The natural beauty of this coastline has attracted visitors
for nearly a century.
Myrtle
Beach sits on an island with a 60-mile oceanfront and
three roads connecting it to the mainland. Bounded on the
north and the west by the Intracoastal Waterway, on the
east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the south by Winyah Bay,
the Grand Strand can be shut off from the outside world
by closing four bridges, giving the impression of being
a world unto itself.
Myrtle Beach and the other towns that
dot this long island stretch have become year-round vacation
destinations. From Little
River to Pawleys
Island, there is a dazzling variety of restaurants, as
well as great nightlife, concerts and theater, museums, interesting
shops, and recreational activities for the whole family.
Myrtle
Beach has over 1600 restaurants that will satisfy most
any appetite. Everything from seafood to sushi - often
with fantastic ocean view. The best in seafood - including
the spicy, succulent Calabash variety - graces many a buffet.
The area is a welcoming destination for golfers,
fishermen, shoppers, families, honeymooners and anyone else
looking for a fun-filled vacation. Myrtle Beach and its neighbor,
North Myrtle Beach, have something for every budget and itinerary.
Their antique stores, great furniture stores and outlets,
marinas, fishing, water sports, a Nascar track, and an easy-going
family atmosphere make visitors want to return year after
year.
Myrtle Beach is home to the Myrtle
Beach Pelicans, part of the Atlanta Braves Farm Team
System. Myrtle Beach is the golf capital of the country
with over
100 top golf courses in the region.
There is also Myrtle
Beach's miniature golf courses, theme parks and museums which
the whole family can enjoy. The Myrtle
Beach Pavilion Amusement Park is considered the #1
place for family fun and features dozens of rides. Cruise
down the beautiful waterway or tour one of the area's historic
plantations. Watch countless species of animals roam in
their natural setting along over 500 acres on the Waccamaw
River and Intracoastal Waterway. |
