The Grand StrandExtending more than sixty miles from Little River to Georgetown, South Carolina's Grand Strand is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the country. A temperate climate, breathtaking scenic beauty, miles of fantastic beaches and first class accommodations, it is no wonder Myrtle Beach is the top choice for all types of tourists. It is also one of the most popular areas for retirement, a second home, and investment property. As the "Golf Capital of the World," Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand is serious about golf. With over one hundred and twenty golf courses, there's always a different course to fit your mood. |
The Grand Strand area is also home to the South's most dazzling array of entertainment. Here you will find Broadway at the Beach; a 350 acre shopping, entertainment, dining, and theater complex. However, there are also other entertainment favorites like, the Carolina Opry, Dixie Stampede, Legends in Concert and Tribute The Concert.
If dining is your passion, there are literally hundreds of restaurants scattered along the Grand Strand and they offer every imaginable cuisine from famous hotdog joints to the renowned gourmet seafood of Murrells Inlet.
If you are a baseball fan be sure to check out the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, a class A farm club of the Atlanta Braves.

"We decided to retire to Myrtle Beach almost a year ago. The climate, life-style, beaches, golf, were all reasons to leave our long-time home in Pennsylvania. When a friend introduced us to Kelley Clarke we knew, instantly, that she was easy to work with. She came highly recommended. What came as a bonus was her knowledge of the area, her honesty, and her helpfulness. She not only sold us our lovely home, but also was helpful after the sale with advice and her ability to put us in touch with other helpful people. She goes above and beyond most realtors to make 'her people' feel at home and part of Myrtle Beach. We are glad to call her a friend."-- Linn and John Schulte
