MYRTLE BEACH

“Golf Capitol of the World”

Myrtle Beach is probably best-known for its 60 miles of Grand Strand oceanfront and 80+ area golf courses, but it’s also home to kidfriendly amusement parks, major entertainment centers, and big retail shopping malls. Marinas on the Intracoastal Waterway provide access to deep-sea fishing adventures just off the coast.

Population: 480,900 (metro area)

Climate: Relatively warm and sunny is the typical Myrtle Beach forecast, with cooling ocean breezes in the summer and snow-free winters for comfortable outdoor activities every day.

Entertainment: The Alabama Theatre and The Carolina Opry are just two of the many major entertainment venues in the Myrtle Beach area that feature Broadway-style productions, music concerts, and seasonal holiday shows.

Waccamaw Neck: Just south of Myrtle Beach is the Waccamaw Neck peninsula, home to Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet seafood restaurants, Litchfield Beach golf resorts, and those famous Pawleys Island hammock shops.
