Myrtle Beach Vacation Guide

The major hub for the surrounding beach towns and barrier islands stretching from Little River to Georgetown in South Carolina, Myrtle Beach is a resort city in Horry County. While it was initially nothing more than a lumber-worker town, it rapidly transitioned into a major tourist destination in the 20th century. These days, Myrtle Beach is one of the largest tourist destinations along the South Atlantic coastal region of the United States, known for its large beaches, exceptional golf courses, excellent restaurants, and plenty of outlet malls to satisfy the most dedicated shopper. More than 15 million people come through Myrtle Beach annually, and it has earned the nickname over the years of “The Grand Strand”.

Myrtle Beach is a mainstream tourist destination. What that means is the attractions of the area are sometimes difficult to see due to the heavy development and crowded nature of the chain of resort towns that stretch along the coast. While the primary site is the location of the eponymous beach, during high season this place can become more of a nightmare than anything else due to overcrowding. Barefoot Landing is a popular choice for individuals choosing to enjoy the amenities rather than beach, and comes complete with over 100 different shops, steakhouses, taverns, and plenty of live entertainment. Visitors also have access to the Myrtle Beach Speedway, the Myrtle Beach State Park, and more putt-putt golf courses than anywhere else on the planet.

Since Myrtle Beach is a major tourist destination, amenities and accommodations are what you can expect from one of the premier hotspots in the United States. Keep in mind that during the peak seasons the area is extremely packed with people, so either plan your trip well in advance or come here during the off-season for the best choice of beach spots and reservations.

We drove to Myrtle Beach, SC in late August of 2007. I had been several times before, but my husband had never been to the beach at all. It took us 8 hours to drive there.
