IgoUgo Travel Report: Myrtle Beach: The Inside Scoop from Experienced Travelers

Myrtle Beach is the heart of the Grand Strand, a region of wide, sun-drenched beaches covering 60 miles along South Carolina's coast. Affordable, upretentious, and family-oriented, Myrtle Beach offers down-home attractions like stock-car racing and country-western show halls reminiscent of Branson, Missouri. While casino boats and exotic dance clubs still have their place on the nightlife scene, more prominent are venues like Broadway on the Beach, an enormous complex featuring lakeside promenades, upscale shopping and dining, an aquarium, and an IMAX theater. Over a hundred golf courses make this area a serious year-round golfing mecca, and amusement parks and historic sites provide entertainment options that go far beyond the sea.
