Between its amazing beaches, a wide range of recreational possibilities and primo shopping opportunities, this primary vacation hub on the shores of the South Atlantic is one of the top stretches of oceanfront the country has to offer.

Myrtle Beach’s Fantastic Beaches

Vacationers can enjoy such activities as jet skiing, sailing, canoeing, scuba diving or surfing. If you’re searching for water-themed fun, Myrtle Beach will not disappoint. For extra convenience, look into the the variety of beach-front Myrtle Beach condos, so you can be even closer to all the beach activities.

Fishing enthusiasts will be in absolute heaven. Myrtle Beach has saltwater fishing opportunities along eight separate piers. Deep-sea fishing adventures are available, but there are also inland creeks, winding waterways and hidden marshes that serve as excellent staging grounds for fishing expeditions.

Golfing in Myrtle Beach

Whether you’re ready for the PGA or looking to hit up the putt-putt courses with your family, Myrtle Beach and golf are the perfect vacation combination. There are more than 120 championship Myrtle Beach golf courses, and these courses have been staging grounds for countless professional and amateur tournaments. You’ll find golf courses in every shape, size and level of difficulty. Many of the top designers in the game (Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Gary Player, Tom Jackson and the powerhouse duo of Pete and P.B. Dye) have created courses in Myrtle Beach. The Dunes Club, Oyster Bay, Myrtlewood and Legends are all wonderful courses. If you prefer a simpler approach to the links, Myrtle Beach has more miniature golf courses than any other place in the world.

Shopping in Myrtle Beach

Broadway at the Beach is the place to start your shopping excursions. More than just a place to find shops and boutiques, Broadway at the Beach features an IMAX theater and awesome aquarium. While there, there are great waterfront restaurants and you can grab lunch at the Hard Rock Café, Planet Hollywood or Jimmy Buffet’s aptly named restaurant Margaritaville. The Tanger Outlet Center is a great place to find shopping deals, and if you really want to hunt for a bargain, a visit to the Myrtle Beach Flea Market is highly recommended.
