I’ve been here going on 15 years. The gonorrhea and syphilis cleared up years ago.
Best food and golf in the state….possibly the southeast.
If you deny that there’s a good chance you haven’t ventured out enough.

I agree with you somewhat that it is not terrible, but it's built for tourists essentially, which means it attracts a lot of people not from here and can be overly crowded. It does have decent restaurants, especially Myrles Inlet, but I prefer the cuisine in the Charleston area more.
If you are looking for a beach with a lot to do in SC, Myrtle Beach is a good spot. If you are looking for anything else, not so much.
Other beaches in SC have a lot more history too. Myrtle Beach became a town essentially 70-80 yrs ago.

I agree about the tourists. The traffic can get bad and it’s pretty much year round now.

The comeback there is that Charleston, which was always a wonderful vacation destination, has been inundated with Yankees moving there. It is not the Charleston of my childhood and I'd argue more crowded than Myrtle most times. I don't understand preferring the food in Charleston. It's so pretentious. I'll take my massive crab leg buffets and calabash seafood.

Then you are going to the wrong places to eat in Charleston. There are plenty of great laid back places to eat here.

If crab leg buffets and calabash are his style

Then he’s gonna prefer Myrtle Beach 10 tens out of 10.
Charleston has a way higher quality of restaurant, which is good but sucks sometimes when you want to eat a meal for less than $10 (Myrtle isn’t much better in that regard). I like a lot of food in both myself but they are definitely a different market.

True that. I grew up poor, and hate fancy restaurants. I have to go to Michelin restaurants all the time for work. Give me all the crab legs I want any day. But Charleston also doesn't have many high-end restaurants.

Been living in Charleston for 13 years now after finishing at Clemson in 2010. Grew up in the Upstate. I can concur that its full of Yankees.

Name me an area of SC and NC that hasn't been inundated with yankees. NC for sure. So much so that the election "experts" can longer predict how the state is going to vote. That's how many and how fast it's changed. You're welcome to come down anytime. Just don't bring your high tax political philosophy with you.
Re: Charleston, lived on James island for a short period. Heard the saying, "In Charleston you're a stranger for 5 minutes but and outsider forever." saw that from time to time.
Re: Beach food, it's been my experience if you want it deep fried, go to Calabash. If you want it broiled or sauted, go to Murrell's Inlet. My sister used to live in Calabash. She told me the reason that everyone is lined up at the Seafood Hut is because they still use lard. No vegetable oil or peanut oil there. Everything tastes better with pig fat!

Having been to MB hundreds of times . . . you just have to go of the beaten path to avoid the majority of tourists. Sometimes I am a tourist, but haVE BEEN THERE ENOUGH TO know where TO GO. It's no difficult...at all.

Traffic, violence caused by gangs, overcrowding, long lines at certain places, demolition of the pavilion and continual housing development that the infrastructure cannot handle. The Myrtle Beach that we knew as kids has been long gone.

Yeah, long gone since the mid 70s. Only go there for HS classmate golf outings staying/playing at Legends or Barefoot Landing. Beach activity trips confined to Ocean Isle, Oak Island or south of MB at Litchfield.

Reminds me of how I felt about Daytona Beach
Mar 22, 2023, 2:36 PM
|
|
I was raised in Ormond Beach, just to the north of Daytona. Daytona is where we would go to get in trouble or get laid. Now Daytona doesn’t suck in my opinion.

I love Garden City to Pawleys. Rarely venture north of the Garden City Pier.
