Myrtle Beach
Horry County · United States
A resort city on South Carolina's Grand Strand — a long, continuous stretch of Atlantic coastline — Myrtle Beach draws visitors with miles of beach, a subtropical climate, and a dense restaurant scene. The area also has an unusually high concentration of golf courses. Named after the local wax-myrtle shrubs by the widow of the developer who first built a railroad and inn here, the city has grown into one of the most visited destinations on the US East Coast.
