Myrtle Beach offers something for everyone!!! Great Restaurants, entertainment, golf, shopping, sandy beaches for miles. Myrtle Beach has a long history. The area's first inhabitants were the Waccamaw and Winyah Indians, who named the region Chicora, meaning "the land." Kings Highway - a major thoroughfare through the Myrtle Beach area - began as an Indian trail long before Europeans settled along the Grand Strand. Later, this trail became the route from the northern states to Charleston and Savannah. To read about the early history to present click here . One of my favorite places is to walk along the 1.2 mile oceanfront boardwalk which opened in 2010. There are restaurants, shops, arcades along the boardwalk.  My all time favorite thing to do is to grab my beach chair and sit on the beach and watch the waves and people walking by. for more information about Myrtle Beach and properties for sale in the area - Sue Lucas Broker Associate Re...

If you are looking for a quieter pace at the beach then check out Longs, SC.  Longs is a small unincorporated community in Horry County , South Carolina , United States . It lies about 14 miles northwest of North Myrtle Beach , located at the intersection of S.C. 9 and S.C. 905 . The town itself consists of a post office , a gas station, and a few small businesses, however, the area is fast growing into a suburb of the Grand Strand . Some of my favorite places to eat in that area are Bistro 90  and Jay's Asian Fusion Restaurant-2126 Highway 9 E, Ste D5, Longs, SC 29568 (Cross Streets: Between Surfrider Blvd and Cloverleaf Dr/Charter Dr) If golf is what you are looking for there are a number of good courses nearby (so I am told ) I myself do not play!! Aberdeen Golf Long Bay Golf Club Crown Park Black Bear Golf Club Be sure to subscribe to my blog for updates about the areas along the Grand Strand For more information about Longs, SC or other areas...

North Myrtle Beach lies along a 9 mile stretch of beautiful beach.  Noted for being the  "Home of the Shag" . What is the shag you ask? Officially born in the 1950s, Shag dancing is similar to Swing dancing and consists of a six-count foot pattern. Shag has gained such a following that it is now the Official State Dance of South Carolina. The roots of shag can be found in the cross-pollination of black music and club dancers in Myrtle Beach with the natural openness of a fun-loving and carefree group of '40s white teenagers. The racially myopic mainstream radio stations of the '40s South did not play black music. The kids had flock to the beaches to hear it on jukeboxes. Click here to view a youtube of the dance. One of the favorites in North Myrtle Beach is Fat Harolds on the beach . Besides dancing, there are many great restaurants, golf courses in the area.  Great Homes too!! email me for a list of available properties. Grab your "free...
