Myrtle Beach

In the beginning, there was the beach. Not just a juncture of ocean and sand, but more than 60 miles of wide, pristine shoreline bordered with sand dunes and sea oats. Today, the magnitude of leisure activities—golf, shopping, amusement parks, botanic gardens, entertainment, art—have transformed the Myrtle Beach, S.C., area known as the Grand Strand from a seasonal beach town to a world-class vacation destination.
