Thousands of hotels, motels and condominiums, quaint little beach cottages, awe-inspiring oceanfront mansions and cozy campsites...limitless natural and man-made attractions, all topped off with some of the world's tastiest seafood... This is the Grand Strand... South Carolina's top vacation destination.
For some people, there's only one place worth living... no, not a particular town, or state, or even country. It's more specific than that. For them, a home among the rolling hills, manicured greens, and scenic water obstacles of a great golf course is the only way to live.
Which brings many of them here, to Myrtle Beach. There are few places on earth that have the sheer number of courses that Myrtle Beach hosts, or courses of such enduring quality. The Grand Strand is famous for golf, and becoming just as famous for life lived among the greens.
No other Atlantic state can boast of as much coastal marshland as South Carolina. Persons of all ages with a spirit of adventure and an appreciation of nature and history will enjoy paddling the slow moving waters of the Tidelands of South Carolina. No prior experience is necessary and only moderate physical ability is required.
The Grand Strand has a storybook history. Indeed, dozens of books have been written about long-lost Indian tribes, colorful pirates, and roaming ghosts. But for the most part, these stories have been shared orally - told and retold over hundreds of years, generation after generation. Not surprisingly, the stories change over time, as different storytellers add their own embellishments. As a result, there are as many different versions of the same story as there are people telling it.the embellishments only add to the enjoyment of hearing, reading, or re-telling them.
The Grand Strand is a vacation hot spot for many reasons: the nightlife, amusement parks, shopping and over 100 golf courses... But hidden behind it's growing popularity is a creative community that has a lot to offer visitors of any age! It's no wonder with the colorful past that the Grand Strand represents that a creative community would emerge in the form of performing arts theaters, art galleries, historic memorabilia galleries, and art schools.
