Myrtle Beach

Pros: just exotic enough for me to feel that I did go on a trip
Cons: but not enough that I felt I went somewhere special

I'm from Maryland, where every summer we spent a week in Ocean City. So the first time I went to Myrtle Beach, I expected something exotic, as opposed to the monotony of vacations I was used to. I didn't get it. My opinion of east coast summer beach...

Pros: Guaranteed good time
Cons: Can spend more money than planned

There are several ways to describe the most popular beach in the southern US. The most accurate of my knowledge is wild. There is some thing in the air at Myrtle beach that sends hundreds of thousands of party-minded people to the Nightlife Capitol...

Pros: Always something to do
Cons: Too many trashy stores

this is perfect for you! It's hard to escape the trashy, yet entertaining shops that line beach front Myrtle Beach. It's also hard to escape the crowds. I personally love it sometimes but I am easily sick of it too. There are some great restaurants,...

Pros: Sky's are blue, sands are warm - let's swim!
Cons: Over development on the tacky side.

I'm not a native of Myrtle Beach, but with my family vacationing there every year I certianly felt as though I was a local from the day they decided to buy a place there.

Myrtle beach as I love to recall from my childhood was a place we didn't...

The best time I've ever had on vacation was in Myrtle Beach. We've gone there for quite a few years now and I can't wait to go back. I never tire of it.

If what you are looking for is quiet, I...

As a young adult in love my relationship brought me to a place of unforgettable memories, and a tan line to outlast the ages. In Myrtle Beach, SC. all cares and worries seem to be swept away. The early mornings came with the smell of the Ocean, and warm...

Pros: Summertime family oriented fun anytime of day or night
Cons: traffic, traffic, traffic!!

I moved to Myrtle Beach on a whim after college grad and before I moved there I had spent summers there for 20 years. Many things have happened to the "Grand Strand." Myrtle Beach was a haven for honeymooners and families just 10 years ago...

Pros: Lots to do; amusement parks, outlet malls
Cons: Too crowded during the summer months, lots of activities are closed during winter

We lived in Myrtle Beach five years ago. I hated living there during the summer months. I couldn't let my child play outside for fear that he would get hit by the tourists who had maps in front of their faces while they were driving. We could find a...

Pros: Myrtle Beach has something for everyone.
Cons: Myrtle Beach is a traffic nightmare in the summertime.

Myrtle Beach offers everything from minature golf to great outlet shopping. Some of the best shopping is not Waccamaw Pottery, but the new outlets further out on 501 near the Carolina Forest area. Hwy 501, however is a traffic problem on weekends and...

Pros: great weather, terrific seafood, wonderful ocean, miniature golf courses
Cons: large crowds during summer months, weather unpredictable during "off season"

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! This are of South Carolina is often referred to as The Grand Strand. I have been to Myrtle Beach too many times to count. My parents started taking me there about 25 years ago,...

Pros: Less crowded in the off-season.
Cons: Some of the more well known sights are not open.

I just came back from Myrtle Beach this weekend (Feb. 19&20) and even though it is off season I still had a wonderful time. The Beach is on-season starting in March and there is certainly more to do in the summer, but I think that more fun can be...

Pros: Breath taking
Cons: Always check what is in their yearly scheduled events.

For me, this was my first trip to the beach and the first time ever seeing the ocean so naturally it was totally awesome and breathing. I was totally speechless when I first saw the ocean for the very first time. It was so peaceful yet so scary in an odd...

Pros: still inexpensive, a lot of non-beach activities
Cons: crowded, snarled traffic

My visits to the South Carolina Grand Strand have spanned several decades --- I've seen snow on the sand and been crushed by oiled crowds in the July heat.

I love Myrtle Beach precisely for all the reasons other reviewers seem to hate it --...

Pros: nightlife, golf courses
Cons: HUGE jellyfish

I grew up around Myrtle Beach untill I was seven. When I went back to visit last year, alost ten years later, boy was I surprised! I couldn't believe how much had changed, but how much had stayed the same. It was as if it were a whole new town, only...
