If you're traveling from south of Georgetown up to Myrtle Beach , do yourself a favor and stop by NOSH in Pawley's Island. It's a great little restaurant with an awesome pavilion that sits just off Ocean Highway (Hwy 17).

NOSH also has an indoor dining area for more intimate settings. I decided to embrace my inner vegetarian and order a veggie Panini while my…

I always enjoy staying at Marriott hotels, but from what the locals told me as I landed in Myrtle Beach for the first time, I was in for a treat at the Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes.

Despite the resort's size, they were…

Tree-lined driveways, birds chirping, mosquitoes buzzing - I was eager to learn more about the history of the property. Our tour guide, Sophia, had the perfect combination of historical knowledge and humor as she led us to the 18th century colonial plantation house. She explained to us that the house has remained essentially the same for…

One of the Myrtle Beach area's most popular festivals is celebrating it's 32nd this year along the historic waterfront in Little River, S.C.

After sifting through room after room of beautiful acrylic pieces, we were then given a sneak peek of the…

In Myrtle Beach , South Carolina, the New South Brewing Company has been brewing up and pouring out fresh ales and lagers to those living in or visiting the Carolinas since 1998. During our visit Owner Dave Epstein gave our group a tour of their facilities while educating us on the science and patience that goes into brewing. As we went through the process, we were given…

The new development hosts spacious walkways, delicious restaurants and little touches around the airport to make each guest feel at home. For example, sitting at a gate waiting for a flight can be tiresome and cramped. The Myrtle Beach International Airport placed colorful rocking chairs in front of all the windows so travelers can be comfortable…
