Myrtle Beach, however you want it

Welcome to Myrtle Beach, a paradise for all beach lovers! With a subtropical climate and average temperatures ranging from mid-80s to low-90s (ºF), this stunning city attracts over 14 million visitors each year. Myrtle Beach is the heart of the Grand Strand, a 60-mile stretch of beaches along the South Carolina coastline. The area was once home to the Waccamaw Indians, and after European colonization, it was pretty much uninhabited until the turn of the 20th century. The Burroughs & Collins Company opened the Seaside Inn in 1901, which was the first hotel in the beach community. The area was later renamed "Myrtle Beach" by the founder's wife after the Southern Wax Myrtle, a shrub that is abundant in the area. Today, Myrtle Beach is a vacation hot spot recognized by tourists worldwide. With a plethora of activities to engage in, you'll never have a dull moment. From the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, Myrtle Waves water park, Family Kingdom Amusement Park, to The Carolina Opry, there's something for everyone. The Myrtle Beach Convention Center hosts a variety of annual events that you wouldn't want to miss.
