About the Myrtle Beach Area

The Myrtle Beach area, popularly known as the Grand Strand, stretches from Little River to Pawleys Island, and comprises 14 communities along the South Carolina coast. Home to world-class golf, 60 miles of sandy beaches, exciting entertainment, family attractions and Southern hospitality, the Myrtle Beach area provides a wide variety of scenery options for any type of film. Also, with an average temperature of 74 degrees, and 215 sunny days each year, the weather will most likely always be in your favor. 

The Grand Strand has more than 157,000 accommodation units spread out across 425 hotels, condos, villas, and home rentals - that's on par with the room units in Las Vegas! From elegant golf and seaside resorts, to rustic cottages, bed & breakfasts and mom-and-pop motels, the Myrtle Beach area offers accommodations for every taste and appeals to every type of traveler. There are also several campgrounds located between Myrtle Beach and the South Strand, many of which are oceanfront or just steps away from the beach. There are also a number of beach homes and condos available for rent, thereby giving vacationing families a true home away from home.
