Myrtle Beach SC Real Estate

Chances are Franklin Burroughs wouldn’t recognize the town his dream has become. Burroughs, one of Horry County’s most successful businessmen during the late 19th century, had a dream of turning what was then known as New Town into a tourist destination that would rival those found in Florida and the Northeast.

Now one of the world’s top vacation destinations, it’s estimated 14 million vacations come to Myrtle Beach and the Grand Stand each year. Major attractions include Carolina Opry, the Myrtle Beach Skywheel, NASCAR Speepark, Ripley’s Aquarium, Family Kingdom Amusement Park and many more. One of the latest additions to the entertainment selection is the new Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, offering leisurely seaside strolls to a variety of restaurant and shops and hosting music and special events throughout the year. Other top attractions include the nearby Myrtle Beach State Park, one of the state’s finest, and an array of the country’s top golf courses. With more than 120 public courses throughout the Grand Stand, top courses in Myrtle Beach include Dunes Golf & Beach Club, Prestwick, Arcadian Shores, Myrtlewood, Man O’ War, International World tour, the Wizard and many others.
