AREA INFORMATION

MYRTLE BEACH - THE SUN FUN CAPITAL OF AMERICA. 

In Myrtle Beach it's not whether the area offers enough, it's choosing from among a remarkable selection of accommodations, activities, shopping, events and more.  The Myrtle Beach area today bears little resemblance even to the Myrtle Beach of the early '90s. Now America's most popular seaside resort as ranked by Southern Living as second only to Orlando among overall vacation spots, and by Yahoo travelers in July as the number one beach area in the nation, the Grand Strand benefits from an ideal location.  A 60-mile stretch of wide, white sandy beaches, meandering rivers, graceful Palmettos, stately Live Oaks and good-ole southern hospitality, Myrtle Beach offers literally something for everyone - and plenty of space to handle the growth.

From Little River to Georgetown, South Carolina's Grand Strand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the U. S. Most famous as the home of Myrtle Beach, a half dozen other towns add variety and make for a complete range of things to do and see. From the historic streets of Georgetown, to the renowned seafood of Murrells Inlet, to the neon lights of Myrtle Beach, the Grand Strand has enough to keep most every type of person happy.

Each area has its own flavor, so take some time exploring here and choose a destination that matches your inclinations. Just because you stay one place doesn't mean you can't sample what other parts of the Strand might have to offer. US 17 is the backbone of the area, making everything within reasonable driving distance.
