It all depends of family or friends or if your young or old...the BEST place to stay for partying sense is North Myrtle Beach. The cops arent as bad as myrtle (not too say they are lienent either) but they are more chillax. from 5th ave north to 17th ave south. its full of beach houses and condos that are packed with students of all ages and parties go on everyhwere! and the clubs are only 15 min away. if u are of age main street in NMB isnt a bad place to go before going down to south myrlte either.
