Sand, Surf and More

Posted By: Tammy Curry, Staff Writer Myrtle-Beach.com

There is more to Myrtle Beach than sand and surf. There are several ways to enjoy nature and catch a glimpse of what the beach looked like before it became developed by high rise resorts. Two top choices for this type of outdoor adventure are Myrtle Beach State Park and Brookgreen Garden. Both were established during the Great Depression. Myrtle Beach State Park was created under Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal Plan” to create jobs and still preserve our heritage. Br…Read More

Posted By: Tammy Curry, Staff Writer Myrtle-Beach.com

Summer Activities

Posted By: Tammy Curry, Staff Writer Myrtle-Beach.com

People watching on the beach is one of my favorite past times during the summer. Granted, in the winter, I love watching people from way up north braving the cold weather and water as well. There is just something about sitting back along the boardwalk and watching how people interact. You wonder which one of the Myrtle Beach hotels they are staying at or are they more of a resort type? You watch to see if the group of kids playing beach volleyball are all together or if they have just met he…Read More

Lisa's favorite spot in Myrtle Beach: The Strip

Posted By:

My favorite spot in Myrtle Beach would probably be The Strip. I love the beaches and I love the Blue Water Resort. My daughter and I love eating at Friendlys, because the food is so good, and not to mention the ice cream is pretty amazing. I like being able to walk by Family Kingdom because i have such fond memories of my daughter when she was a little girl, going there and having fun. There are so many fond memories of walking down the strip, of lounging by the beach, includ…Read More


Myrtle Beach at Sunrise

Posted By:

Living in Myrtle Beach does have its advantages.  One of my favorites is going for an early morning walk, just as the sun casts itself out above the ocean's waves.   While most tourists are still tucked into their rooms, the morning is all quiet. The smell of salt fills the air as the waves whisper in and out to sea. It doesn't matter how packed my schedule might be, an early morning walk puts my mind at rest. My family has lived on this beach for over 230 y…Read More
