Says travel writer, Jim Stewart, Myrtle Beach used to be the gem of South Carolina beaches. It was clean and not nearly as crowded and overdeveloped as it has become. In fact, last year Myrtle Beach drew a whopping 17 million visitors to its shores for fun and sun. However, amusement parks, hundreds of hotels and thousands of restaurants have made this one-time haven for family vacations a nightmare. The waters off Myrtle Beach have also repeatedly tested positive for high levels of bacteria in the past few years. If you have to vacation on the shores of South Carolina, take our advice and head south to Litchfield.
