Good Times at North Myrtle Beach SC

Beach. Sunrises and sunsets (we saw both from our condo balcony).

Quick Tips:

Bring your camera for all the beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and binoculars. Bring a kite to fly on the beach. A remote control car is fun to drive on the beach.

Best Way To Get Around:

Best way to get around is either your own car or a rental car. I would recommend a rental car if you have to drive a long distance to get there and get back home then you do not put a lot of miles on your car at home and if you have any car troubles the Rental Company will take care of you. If you drive your own car and have car troubles, you are on your own.

Best Things Nearby:
Beach.

Best Things About the Resort:
Looks out into the ocean.

Resort Experience:
We watched the sunrise and the sunset from our balcony--an awesome sight. The building was only 6 stories high. We use the elevator for trips up and used the steps for the trips downstairs. The building was being renovated so parking was limited.

Best Things About the Resort:
Right on the beach.

Resort Experience:
We visited this timeshare and decided to buy it. The facility is right on the beach. There were numerous resort activities. Their indoor pool was huge. The outdoor pool was a good size and they also had a lazy river. There is an elevator because the facility is quite tall. The facilty was quite well-maintained. The rooms were generous in size. But the best thing about the timeshare is the ocean view of the sunrise and the sunset.

The town is hailed as the birthplace of the "Shag", a dance combining smooth moves with fancy footwork, which evolved on the beach to become the offical state dance. Family entertainment is the specialty at Barefoot Landing, which includes a 20-acre lake, boardwalk, carousel, and thrill-ride simulator. The complex is on US17 near the Intracoastal Waterway and contains more than 80 retail and outlet shops and several restaurants.
