UPSCALE ACCOMMODATIONS:
Premium Hotels, Resorts, Bed & Breakfasts

Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand offers several first- class oceanfront and other location high rise resort hotels with golf concierges, fine dining and other upscale amenities. There are also two "plantation resorts" -- former rice and indigo plantations -- on the south strand which provide a relaxing vacation with stunning views and away from the glitz of Myrtle Beach proper. Golf and gourmet dining are available on premises, and they are near several of the Strand's premium courses including the TPC, True Blue, Caledonia and others. Another resort property offers first-class high-rise hotel accommodations and villas on 145 acres of private oceanfront seclusion near Restaurant Row and Barefoot Resort's new  "Fantastic Four" courses. If  you prefer to be pampered in sumptuous and even more relaxed surroundings, choose an "Old South" Bed & Breakfast accommodation in historic Georgetown. Your hosts may regale you with famous ghost stories, pirate tales and other area history while relaxing on the verandah -- and you will dine on extraordinary low country cuisine.

MORE HOTELS, CONDOS, COTTAGES:
Oceanfront and other hotels abound from the northernmost tip of the Strand to the south end in all price ranges. Many have excellent children's programs if you've brought the family along. Many golf courses have on-site condos available to golf groups, an excellent choice for golf-getaway weekends. Oceanfront cottages, canal side and others are available for golf groups and families. Also lower cost lodging for cash-strapped golfers.

CAMPGROUNDS:
If you're traveling by motor home or RV, there are 12 campgrounds on the Strand, including two state parks. Towering live oaks and swaying pines give shade to wooded sites, and most every amenity is available. Campgrounds are available in every section of the Strand, minutes away from golf courses, dining and entertainment.
