North Myrtle Beach ~ Top of the Grand Strand
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009North Myrtle Beach is convenient in that it lies just north of busy Myrtle Beach and is adjacent to the North Carolina state-line creating a lesser chaotic beach vacation destination. For those looking for a much needed respite yet be close to the excitement of Myrtle Beach’s day and night
life, North Myrtle Beach is just the place. Getting here is easy to do with both ground and air transportation conveniently closeby.
When I think of Myrtle Beach, hanging out at the beach of course comes to mind but many flock here to swing the golf club and be challenged by the coastal links of North Myrtle Beach.
Having fun in the sun in North Myrtle Beach can be had by all ages. The relaxing part of North Myrtle Beach is what excites me to be honest!
Fishing comes to mind when thinking of relaxing for me and the waters off of North Myrtle Beach produce some great fishing all year-round. There are several outfitters that can take you out to the deep for some sailfish, marlin and tuna whereas fishing from a pier or in shallower water for red fish, speckled trout and flounder
are a must for a day of fun.
The other main ingredient for relaxation is eating especially fresh seafood on vacation! North Myrtle Beach is home to several authentic seafood restaurants that will give you your fair share of crab, mussels, crawfish, prawns, various ocean fish and of course a fine prime rib and
steak are available for those seeking not to take advantage of the fresh cuisine.
So, when you are planning a beach vacation to South Carolina think about heading a bit north of Myrtle Beach to the top of the Grand Strand.
