Things to do in Myrtle Beach
Welcome to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina: one of the most popular tourist destinations on the east coast between New York and Orlando! Never been? Think: sandy beaches, hot weather, tons of resorts, great festivals, huge shopping districts and a great nightlife scene, complete with live music of your choice, and usually a good serving of fresh seafood. Still not enough? How about enough golfing to have you shaking a stick for a lifetime? With over 250 golf courses and resorts, more people come to Myrtle Beach for golf than for anything else! Sure, there are still all of those neat things that make a city unique and interesting like Atalaya Castle historic site, and the very popular Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum, not to mention the Myrtle Beach Speedway or Myrtle Beach Convention Center; but let’s face it: those are pretty much just some really sweet icing on this already delicious cake!
With a population of not even 30,000 (although nearly 300,000 in the metro area), this city knows how to host guests! There’s plenty of something for everyone, and though the city sees over 15 million visitors each year, you can just set your own pace and have a good time, whether that means lying on the beach, a weekend golf pass, or local attractions and history.
