As a popular spring-break destination, golfing hub, and beloved family holiday spot—Myrtle Beach is the "happy place" for a range of travellers. Take in a foot-stomping show at the Carolina Opry, soak up the sunbeams on the Grand Strand's many beaches, or mingle with the fishermen of Springmaid Pier. Those seeking high-energy fun can hit theme-park rides or wildlife tours, but it's also just as easy to spend an afternoon strolling around the boardwalk, ice cream in hand. Whatever your speed, you'll want to make frequent pit-stops to sample Carolina barbeque.
