Weekend Getaways to Myrtle Beach

One may think the sun, 60 miles of wide sandy beaches and more than a hundred golf courses would be enough to lure vacationers 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 miniature golfing 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 U.S. With restaurants galore, a rocking nightlife and accommodations that run the gamut from high-rise beachfront hotels to campgrounds with indoor swimming pools, Myrtle Beach is the perfect all-around getaway.
