Myrtle Beach South Carolina stretches 60 miles from the North Carolina border southward to Pawleys Island, and virtually all of it has public access. The ocean has a moderating effect on the weather along the coast. Often you will see the weather in the Myrtle Beach area 10 degrees cooler in the summer and 10 degrees warmer in the Winter than the temperature only 15 miles inland. Besides the luxurious Myrtle Beach hotels, the area is one of the world's great golfing destinations featuring over 100 public golf courses.

The Myrtle Beach area is served by several airports, Myrtle Beach International for commercial service, and Grand Stand, Georgetown and Ocean Isle for general aviation. Amtrak train service is provided to Florence, approximately 80 miles away. The major highways providing access to the Myrtle Beach area include I-95 and I-20 which feed into US 17, US 501 and SC 9, which provided direct routes to the beach. One of the special treats for visitors tothe area is Bookgreen Gardens, one of the largest outdoor sculpture displays in the world. Begun by the Huntingdon family, Bookgreen Gardens has acres of land on which you can explore and see some of the finest artwork anywhere.
