Myrtle-Beach
is located on the northern coast of South Carolina in the center of the region known as the Grand Strand. It was incorporated as a town in 1938 and today, over 25,000 permanent residents call Myrtle Beach "home," while millions of visitors spend vacations here each year. As one of the most well known beach destinations in the world, Myrtle Beach offers 60 miles of gorgeous beaches, unparalleled attractions, golf courses, restaurants and nightlife. It's called the "seaside golf capital of the world," and has recently been named "Sportstown USA" by Sports Illustrated Magazine and the National Recreation and Park Association. The Myrtle Beach area has numerous parks and recreational facilities, 115 golf courses, professional baseball, auto racing, recreational fishing and other sports like tennis, surfing, boogie-boarding, scuba diving, parasailing and wind surfing. Not sports minded? You'll still love Myrtle Beach for dance clubs, karaoke clubs, bars and live theater and music in every style imaginable - rock, pop, country and blues. If you like to shop, Myrtle Beach has trendy boutiques, malls, outlets and specialty shops. Dining is another "activity" to enjoy on the Grand Strand, where you'll find 1,700 restaurants that serve every kind of cuisine you can think of, including, of course, some of the best seafood in the world. Of course, many come to Myrtle Beach just to spend days on the beach soaking up the sun and to take quiet walks along the moonlit piers. There really is something for everyone at Myrtle Beach - which why so many people return year after year.

Myrtle Beach Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Northeastern South Carolina ,in the coastal plain, has terrain that is mostly flat, and the average elevation is 140 feet above sea level. The combination of low elevation, relatively low latitude and warm Gulf stream from the Atlantic Ocean, combines to create a climate with warm, humid summers and short, mild winters. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in the summer and sometimes in the autumn. Hail and damaging winds often occur along with the summer thunderstorms. Tornadoes are uncommon unless a tropical cyclone is present. Precipitation is abundant throughout the entire year, and the coastline tends to have a slightly wetter summer. Hurricanes are a threat along the coast of South Carolina with the typical season running June through November. However, plenty of warning is generally given for these types of storms.
