This South Carolina beach getaway is everything

Arrayed along 60 miles of shoreline, Myrtle Beach doesn't ask you to commit to one kind of getaway. While you could happily spend all your time there chilling on the golden sands, mixing it up is just as tempting.

Whether that means golfing, boating, fishing, food touring, boardwalk strolling, brewery hopping, concert-going or horseback riding, the 14 communities that make up this easy-to-reach stretch of South Carolina coast offer all of the above. It's less than a day's drive from much of the Eastern U.S., and a quick direct flight from a growing number of airports.
