As the temperature keeps rising, although lately its been cool and wet in Providence, many of you have started thinking about soaking up the sun at our area beaches. While it’s a tad too early to venture out to these areas, there are beach communities to our south that are blossoming with seaside activity. All you need to know is which beach community suits your needs the best? Most likely, you’ll find that the choices are often hard to distinguish, but I would like to make you aware of one outstanding beach community that burns brightly all year long. This beach community is routinely voted as a top ten vacation destination and is located in the Palmetto state-Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Myrtle Beach, located approximately 860 miles south of Providence, is a community that offers 60 miles of soft sandy beach and crystal clear blue ocean water that is perfect for swimming, sun bathing, shell collecting, or just hanging out.

Although the beach adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean is truly spectacular, you will be pleasantly surprised to know that Myrtle Beach has much more to offer its visitors. This community boasts outstanding beach accommodations, endless attractions, and is truly an outdoor sport recreational paradise. Visitors are privy to many different accommodation choices which include motels, luxury hotels, oceanfront resorts, and inviting vacation beach homes. Guests of Myrtle Beach will often find it difficult to see all the fun and exciting area attractions; however, visitors should make an effort to see some of the more widely popular hot spots. Try your luck aboard Little River Casino Ship, go explore the Battleship North Carolina, take the kids to the Children’s Museum of South Carolina, get wet at Wild Water and Wheels, ride the swamp fox roller coaster at Family Kingdom Amusement Park, enjoy endless adventures at MagiQuest, stopover to see all the sea creatures at Ripley’s Aquarium, and see the otters at the Low Country Zoo. A multitude of outdoor sport recreational opportunities are available and include golfing, boating, fishing, surfing, kayaking, scuba diving, parasailing, and wind surfing.
