Weekend Getaways to Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach

You might think that the sun, 60 miles of wide sandy beaches and more than a hundred golf courses would be enough to lure holidaymakers to Myrtle Beach, but this popular coastal city offers even more to enjoy. Also known as the Grand Strand, the Myrtle Beach area is a fantasy land of family attractions. In between beach days, take the kids go-cart racing at the Myrtle Beach Grand Prix Family Thrill Park, on a breathtaking roller coaster ride at the Myrtle Beach Pavilion or crazy golf at any of the area's 46 fun-themed courses. More serious golfing can be found pretty much anywhere, on some of the highest-rated courses in the USA. With restaurants galore, vibrant nightlife and accommodation that ranges from high-rise beachfront hotels to campsites with indoor swimming pools, Myrtle Beach is the perfect all-round getaway destination.
