City Of Myrtle Beach

I love going to the ocean cause basically will go ever five years or so but Mytrle beach is the first one I go to. The water was mega nice and it was amazing to walk out in water. The only thing is never can find sand dollars and star fish but I did see hermit crabs. I’m not a fan that everything g is so expensive but he’ll like I said I live in Indianapolis so closest I’m to beach is lake michigan

My family has always gone to Myrtle, now as an adult– I revisited and tried to experience it as an adult. This place is good for families. I would agree with that. Some younger people might enjoy the scene this place provides but I wasn’t one of them. As a kid, I loved it here. There’s a lot of things to take your kids to have fun. There’s a lot to experience as a child. But as an adult– this beach is very tourist-​y, and will pull out every last trick to get you to spend every last cent you have for «amusement». You have to pay 4 – 6 dollars to park anywhere near the central beach Boardwalk. The actual beach is pretty lackluster– and if you visit during the summer, there’s more people than sand. Everything, and I mean everything is overpriced. The hotel’s are affordable usually. If you have a family, this might be a good place to visit. If you’re a young person/​young couple– I’d suggest a more natural beach vacation. Like the Outer Banks.

Nice place for a family less expensive then all the other beaches I been to a lot of different beaches and this one is the most less expensive one !!
I think this is good for family’s but needs improvements on gyms and more beach activity or better clean businesses!

I gave vacationed twice here and love it. Clean beaches, friendly people, plenty to do!

This was my first time at myrtle beach and I had a great time! I am from New England, so the warmer beach water was a nice change. It was also nice to be able to swim early in the morning and late at night without being cold. The only problem was the water was much saltier than where I am from. The beach itself was great. Not very dirty and large enough that you can find a non crowded area to set up your stuff.
While on the beach, out group did a various number of activities: swim, walk, relax, collect seashells, see fish swimming, and watch fireworks. Can’t wait to visit again!

I would highly recommend anyone to go to myrtle beach. The water is warm, but not too warm, the nights are perfect for late night swimming, and the days are perfect to stroll along the board walk. Just a warning about the water, it is VERY salty. It is very nice to enjoy for 15 – 20 minutes, but after that is too much. Hopefully I come back next year to enjoy this fun city!

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I wish we could do half stars. I wanted to give 2.5 but 2 will suffice. 2stars only because it is a beach and it was enjoyable when the negative company wasn’t around (huge groups rocking confederate shirts, shorts, bathing suits, snide remarks, and frowns) I didn’t feel comfortable at this beach at all and I definitely won’t come back, especially not bring my family or kids here. It’s not such an amazing site that I would miss out on anything. Funny, I’ve lived in North Carolina the majority of my life and never visited this beach, now I know why …
Plus, if you want to setup chairs or a nice area to relax you will have to do it behind the rental row of beach chairs and umbrellas … Good luck on a high tide day, you’ll pretty much be on the grass.

If McDonalds were to name a menu item after Myrtle Beach it would be called the McNasty.
This place is straight up dirty and packed with low life’s.
The sand is funky looking and the water is a gross brown color, I wouldn’t dip my big toe in that cesspool.
I guess if your ass is to broke to go to a real beach this would be your answer.

From the board walk to Broadway to the white sandy beaches, I absolutely love this beach town. The city of Myrtle Beach is definitely one for all. As a native of Florida, one tends to think a Floridian would get tired of beaches but they don’t realize it’s almost 100° on the beach at any given time. At Myrtle Beach, you don’t have to worry about high temperatures like that. You could enjoy the beach on a nice breezy day but still get a great tan. There are also many attractions and wonderful restaurants to stop and visit. You cannot forget to visit the different landmarks that are also able to be visited from little to no cost. We cannot wait to come back!

This city is located in the heart of the Grand Strand of South Carolina. There is tons to do for all ages. Lots of golf, mini golf, dining, from casual & fast food to upscale and plenty of hotels and motels to stay at. This is a very family friendly area and a very safe community. There is lots of shopping everywhere. I love this place!!! With their Southern hospitality.

The best way I can describe the boardwalk and beach strand, as a devout Midwesterner is this: If Wisconsin Dells and Branson, Missouri had sex on the beach, and this was their resulting love child.
On a kitsch scale of 1 – 10, Myrtle beach is a definite 13. The beach itself is beautiful, but insanely crowded, lined with 70s-​style hotels in a bevy of pastel shades.
The boardwalk has a mix of everything. Mini amusement parks, a million different themed mini-​golf courses, arcades, museums, a mirror maze, and a few haunted houses. A ton of tacky souvenir shops where you can get anything emblazoned with Myrtle Beach, plus plenty of restaurants and bars, mostly serving up some type of seafood buffet.
Parking is readily available in public and private parking lots, usually at a fee of about
$ 7 – 10 a day. Truly, Myrtle Beach is a must-​see for any lover of old-​school kitsch!

For the first time in over 20 years, we re-​visited one of my favorite places in the whole world, Myrtle Beach.
I walked through the sand down to the ocean and felt the seawater rush around my feet as the memories flooded over me.
Jumping waves with my kids when they were little.
Building sand castles and digging sand pits on the beach.
Swimming out to meet the waves before they crashed on us.
Playing Nerf football in the water, and taking extra care to throw the ball with just enough of a lead to require a full lay-​out in the water.
Collecting shells and filling up a pail with the «perfect» ones.
Going into all those tacky souvenir stores and buying T shirts and crappy souvenirs.
Buying two hermit crabs (Neon and Deon) and a plastic tank that we drove all the way home to Connecticut. Deon lasted a year longer than Neon.
Playing epic games of mini golf. One year my son was on a hot streak — he was about 5 and people were following us around cheering him on and calling him «Little Arnold».
The absolute truth of experiencing Southern Hospitality –it is real.
Waffle House for breakfast and Seafood Buffets for dinner.
If you have kids, there might be better places to visit. But you’ll probably have just as good a time in Myrtle Beach.

Very friendly city I would highly recommend bringing kids or family reunions. The weather is great for golf or just hanging out
On the beach also the people there are very friendly as well

Boooo. The city allows a company to place umbrellas and chairs in prime beach location. You get to look at the backs of these chairs and umbrellas.

Everything in Myrtle is so clean and everyone is so hospitable. The southern charm of the folks who live here, are sure to make your experience the best. There is parking everywhere, there is always something to do, there is fabulous food, awesome deals for golfers, and always places to shop.
If you’re from Ocean City and thing that it’s fabulous, you must trek your way down the Carolina’s for a weekend getaway.

Nice beach and boardwalk along the South Carolina coast. Bring sun tan oil, beach towels, umbrellas and a cooler for good times.
Pros — touristy, food is good, parking everywhere
Cons — expensive

Myrtle beach is awesome! Great waves, restaurants and tons of stuff to do! My only complaint is that the lifeguards aren’t lifeguards. They are beach chair sellers. Otherwise, I loved the big waves, all the shopping venues and all the fun we had! We will be back!

I had been looking to relocate for many years for a home along the Atlantic Ocean. I searched many states and towns to find a home. Year round, I was looking for a warm climate. My honey wanted a home with seasonal changes. Myrtle Beach had those and many other prerequisites we had on our list.
The beaches are beautiful and clean, with piers set up for fishing. The sand is clean, but you need not swim near the piers, as that is where the sharks hang out, due to the fishing. Festivals abound, there is always something going on, this city has a good pulse.
During winter months, tourism comes to a halt, some restaurants close, while others offer specials for locals to keep on going. The movie theaters are clean and well organized, no loiterers in the lobby. The roads are emptier than during the Spring and Summer months.
The staff in nearly all restaurants, stores, library and even the Post Office are warm, welcoming and polite, even if they don’t know you. Holiday events and concerts are at the House of Blues, Alabama Theater, Legends and the Palace Theater, year round. The locals tend to enjoy the peace and shorter wait time.
Nature abounds in Myrtle Beach, despite its city atmosphere. Although I’m not located near any tourist area, my son photographed 4 deer crossing the road to my house (although only 3 appear), a king snake had made my portico his home for a while. I have seen coyotes running along Rte. 17 Bypass, near Holmestown Road. Alligators live in a pond about a block and a half from my home. One day while walking my dog, I heard the rattle of a rattlesnake, however I didn’t see it as I moved away quickly. I have had turtles in my yard, and geckos, toads, green tree frogs and skinks all over my house and yard. I was told of several coral snakes in my neighborhood. Butterflies and dragon flies abound the skies in my neighborhood. Brookgreen Gardens is a beautiful place to get in touch with local wildlife and nature.
This city is in the middle of transition, rebuilding roads to accommodate the locals, tourists and passersby. This can be inconvenient at times, but it’s not forever. The police are kind and helpful. The ambulance drivers and staff are just warm and wonderful. This city has multiple recycling centers to drop off your trash, plastics, metals, cardboard, batteries, oil, paper, tires and construction debris. If my local recycling center is closed, there is another one open nearby.
Myrtle beach is a large city, spanning a large portion of the shore on the northern section of South Carolina. As in any city, there are nice and not so nice areas. Some weather worn homes scatter along the shore, as you would expect in any shoreline city. Litterers can be fined about $ 1,000, which shows this city means business about keeping this city clean.
I could have moved to any city in the U.S., but I chose to make Myrtle Beach my home. I love the convenience of all the shopping, entertainment, airport and medical facilities. I am so happy with my choice still, after living here for several years.

It’s been about 14 years since I’d been to Myrtle Beach and probably 24 – 25 since I actually went to the BEACH at Myrtle (last four times I was here was for golf… no beach). My daughter and I were here recently for a softball tournament and we had a great time.
Yes, our hotel sucked (
). Yes, it is much more commercialized than I remember. Yes, the girls could have played better on the field. All this aside, the water was great (got to spend more time in it because of an early exit from the tourney), the weather was excellent, and the restaurants were plentiful and mostly pretty good. If I had one complaint about MB itwould be that WAY too many people think it’s ok to use the beaches as an ashtray.
I don’t know that I’d come back for an actual vacation as I prefer doing ‘nothing’ on my vacation rather than constantly going out, but I’d be ok coming back here for another tournament and spending time at the beach.

I love this beach! It is pretty clean for a public beach. If you go up past 38^th street it is very easy to find free public parking and beach access.
I love the people watching! The are young and old… and dogs are allowed! People are usually pretty active on thios beach, always walking, running, playing frisbee and all sorts of other games.
I tried to look for Kenny Powers but I didn’t find him, maybe next time.
