Myrtle Beach

Straddling the Atlantic Ocean, Myrtle Beach is one of the nation’s Top 5 destinations for vacationers traveling by car. Since the area lies between the North Carolina border and Charleston it also swells with the cultural attractions of nearby Georgetown and Pawley’s Island in the Gullah Islands. Like geese returning home every year, golfers, couples and families repeatedly heed its charms. With miles of recent and new construction along Ocean Boulevard, the main thoroughfare running parallel to the ocean, Myrtle Beach boasts hundreds of affordable hotels and motels and more than 1,700 full-service restaurants. Mainstay restaurant clubs like House of Blues, with its popular Sunday Gospel Brunch, help establish it as a must visit southeastern destination for couples and singles.
