Myrtle
Beach is a community on the move and one of the fastest-growing
cities in the Eastern United States. It borders the
Atlantic Ocean along a 60-mile stretch of oceanfront
often referred to as The Grand Strand. Within this region
of South Carolina, there are many distinct communities
— each with its own identity and unique qualities.
The
first hotel was built in 1901 and growth and development
hasn’t slowed down since. Today, the destination
attracts approximately 14 million annual visitors and
has evolved into a year-round vacation mecca. Approximately
250,000 residents call this area home and for good reason:
it boasts a vibrant economy, low unemployment, a wonderful
climate and an exceptional educational system.
Altogether
there are more than 80,000 accommodations available
for rent, and with more than 1,800 restaurants, 100
golf courses and unlimited attractions and amusements,
there truly is something here for all visitors! Myrtle
Beach has also established itself as a premier meeting
and convention destination, welcoming a wide variety
of groups from throughout the nation.
