Curator’s statement
Myrtle Beach holds an incredibly special place in my heart, as it was one of the primary reasons I made the monumental decision to move 12 hours across the country to be closer. The allure of its stunning beaches, lively atmosphere and endless entertainment options was simply irresistible. Now, living just a couple of hours away, I find myself constantly drawn back to its shores, eager to create new memories and soak in the unique charm that only Myrtle Beach can offer. It's more than just a destination. It's become a cherished part of my life, a place where I can truly unwind and reconnect with myself and my loved ones. That's why I highly recommend it as the ultimate family vacation destination, where you can create unforgettable memories together amid the beauty and excitement of Myrtle Beach.

During my recent six-day adventure in Myrtle Beach, I was absolutely thrilled to soak up every moment of the coastal magic. Living just a two-hour drive away now, I'm already itching to go back and explore more of what this amazing place has to offer.
From the heart-pounding rollercoasters to the relaxing boat rides, Myrtle Beach has something for everyone. Personally, I couldn't get enough of those lazy afternoons chilling by the ocean, feeling the warm sun on my skin while listening to the waves crashing. And let me tell you, the downtown area was buzzing with energy. It was so much fun hopping from one cute shop to another and trying all the yummy food.
If you're an adventure junkie like me, you absolutely have to try the rollercoasters at the amusement parks. They're seriously wild and will definitely leave you with an adrenaline rush. And for those who prefer a more laid-back experience, a boat ride along the coast is perfect for enjoying the beautiful views and maybe even spotting some dolphins!
While the nightlife might not be as lively as in big cities, I still found it enjoyable to take a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk or catch a live show after a day of fun in the sun. It's the perfect way to wind down and soak in the atmosphere of Myrtle Beach.
Overall, Myrtle Beach completely stole my heart, and I'm already counting down the days until my next visit. If you're looking for a place with excitement, relaxation and endless beach vibes, Myrtle Beach is the perfect destination. Trust me, you won't regret it!
