Life's a Beach . . . Myrtle Beach!

Even though Myrtle Beach, South Carolina became a city in 1957, history shows that people have been vacationing there since the late 1800s. Myrtle Beach draws people from all over with its sand, ocean and trees. Myrtle Beach Hotels are popular vacation spots and according to the 2000 census, the city of Myrtle Beach is the 13th largest growing metropolitan area in the United States. Myrtle Beach got its name from a shrub that grows in abundance called the wax myrtle. In 1936 South Carolina's first state park was opened just south of the city limits: the park was a project of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Myrtle Beach is a family city with much fun and excitement. Of course, the beach is the number one draw, but there is so much to do once you get there that staying on the beach for your whole vacation may not be possible! Myrtle Beach offers deep sea fishing, and water sports as well as theme parks, putt-putt golf, museums and spectacular shopping. Once the sun sets at Myrtle Beach the nighttime activities are just as exciting: Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, The Palace Theater, and The Carolina Opry are just a few things to do. Myrtle Beach vacations offer families great fun year after year, and never the same experience twice.
