Hot and Exciting Myrtle Beach

An October 2003 trip to Myrtle Beach by Trenelle

Myrtle Beach has everything that you are looking for in a vacation! The hot sun, great beaches, an abundance of restaurants, tons of activities for the adults and kids, and great shopping! We loved it and want to go back.

Best Things Nearby:
Beach, grocery store, shopping malls!

Best Things About the Resort:
The location, the accommodations, the exercise room, the whirlpool in the room, the indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

Resort Experience:
This Fairfield is located just across from the beach. All rooms face the ocean with great views. The rooms are very spacious and extremely comfortable. The two-bedroom unit had a queen bed in the master bedroom and two double beds in the second bedroom.

The whirlpool tub was huge and relaxing. The exercise room is fully equipped and not cramped. The outdoor pool is a good size. The indoor pool is mainly for lap swimming. Both indoor and outdoor jacuzzis were nice and spacious.

I would recommend having a car because it's far from the airport.

Benjamin's Calabash SeafoodBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "The Original Benjamin's Calabash"

This restaurant is great. The food was good except for the crawfish. It seemed like it was up there too long. But the salmon was excellent and the other dishes were good as well. Great desserts and salads.

You must go hungry to this place because there is so much to choose from. Also they have nice artifacts displayed in the restaurant such as an old scuba diving uniform, a half of a bus, and other items from ships and boats. There is also a great aquarium in there with beautiful fish.

Myrtle Beach Factory Outlet StoresBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Tanger Outlet"

This outlet mall had some great stores such as Nine West, Polo, Fudge Store, and Fragrance Outlet. It has a good food court as well. Be sure to stop by the Visitor's Center and get a coupon book with over $250 worth of coupons. We really saved on our purchases. Sales tax in South Carolina is low, so buy a lot.
