Many of the top travel destinations in the world are located hundreds or even thousands of miles away. But there is a world-class destination only a short drive or flight away.

Every great vacation destination should have something to offer the entire family. Myrtle Beach most certainly does, providing beautiful beaches, excellent shopping and games for the kids. There are more than 100 miniature golf courses in Myrtle Beach, and theme parks are just a short drive away. Myrtle Waves is a fun place to spend the day, as is Wild Water and Wheels. If a long day of relaxing on the beach is what you're interested in, Myrtle Beach is full of large, beautiful beach areas.
