Myrtle Beach



Moving a bit north in our destination of great vacation spots is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The beautiful 60-mile coast known as The Grand Strand offers plenty of beach and shopping. With the House of Blues, Broadway at the Beach, and Barefoot Landing, even a rainy day can be eventful. The House of Blues offers music and a dining experience. Broadway at the Beach is a 350-acre collection of dining, movie theaters, shops, nigh-clubs, miniature golf, fireworks displays and more. It houses such attractions as Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, Ripley’s Aquarium, a 3D IMAX Theater, and more. Barefoot Landing is a smaller, 27-acre location with a similar crowd that is out to experience fine dining and shopping. It is home of the Alabama Theater and Alligator Adventure.

         




Myrtle Beach also offers an array of shows. A show I would recommend is the Dixie Stampede. It offers a four-course meal and a live show, similar to that of Medieval Times, but with a country twist. However, it has recently changed to a pirate themed show. It is still an opportunity for a great night out with the family.




As I have done in earlier blogs, I love to mention great places to eat. The Golden Griddle is a small little pancake house that offers a meal for a great price. The owners are friendly and the crowd is welcoming. It offers a very comfortable atmosphere where you will feel right at home. One of the best places to have dinner is Carolina Roadhouse. Their chicken fingers will melt in your mouth. They are so tender!


 


















If you’re a fan of golf, Myrtle Beach is one of the best destinations for golfing. There are over one hundred golf courses, some of which are designed by world-famous architects. In May 2010, Golf Digest rated The Dunes G. & Beach Club in Myrtle Beach as the 2nd best golf resort out of sixty others!







Whether you’re looking for a beach vacation, a night out to see a show, or a quiet golf get-away weekend, Myrtle Beach is great spot for all kinds of vacationers! Looking to stay? Coastal Carolina University is located in Conway, South Carolina; just minutes from Myrtle Beach!
