  • Myrtle Beach is a warm coastal resort area where the sun shines and the fun never sets. Also known as the Grand Strand for its 60-mile stretch of continual beaches from Little River to Georgetown, Myrtle Beach is considered one of the premier vacation destinations on the East Coast. For the competitive golfer, Myrtle Beach is the host for a number of mini-tour and amateur events, including the Dupont World Amateur Tournament, which is the largest amateur golf tournament in the world.
