"A Tourist Destination for the Entire Family"

Myrtle Beach started out as a quaint little beach town geared toward a getaway for local families. Over the years Myrtle Beach has changed into a destination for vacationers from all over the world. The area has seen its share of carnival type attractions and retail shops, however those have begun to fade into the background with the new look designed to attract families. Myrtle Beach has started to attract more family friendly businesses and attractions such as The Mall of South Carolina scheduled to open on St. Patrick’s Day of 2004. Along with the new mall the area is home to several other shopping complexes as well as dozens of amusement style parks. You can even enjoy a Broadway play without going to New York. Myrtle Beach also has over 100 golf courses that helped to put it on the map. More about the changes and their affects on the area can be found in the book penned by Will Moredock “Banana Republic: A Year in the Heart of Myrtle Beach”. Mr. Moredock will be at The Myrtle Beach Resort for a book signing March 16, 2004.
