When you’re ready for action, South Carolina’s Grand Strand is the place to be. Soaring resorts, family-friendly attractions and trendy restaurants are just steps from more than 60 miles of beaches. For a slower pace and natural beauty, retreat to a relaxed barrier island in the Hammock Coast area; or, for timeless music and moves, head to North Myrtle Beach to the birthplace of the state dance, the “Carolina Shag.”
