hey,
so I'm back from my trip and I'm going to let you know what I think of Myrtle Beach as a spring break location. Just as a reminder, I've been there March 07-11 and I know that it is still somewhat early for spring break, but I'm quite sure that hot spots like PCB or Cancun were pretty packed with students by Saturday March 10th. Well, Myrtle Beach wasn't packed at all.Of course parts of it has to do with the immense capacity of rooms provided by the hotels on the Grand Strand.Well, during the day there were a couple of people roaming the beach, but it was a pretty even mix of spring breakers, families and a quite notable amount of senior citizens! So if you want to go and party on the beach during the day, I wouldn't know where to go!
As far as the nightlife is concerned, things got a little bit better, but it's still no comparison to PCB or Cancun. There are a couple of places on Broadway at the beach were you can party and of course there is club Kryptonite( which I found to be very disappointing), but even going out at night felt more like being out on a weekend in any other city in the US than being on a spring break trip!
As far as I'm cocerned, Myrtle Beach is a great vacation spot for almost everybody. It's great if you want to go golfing, it's great if you want to go shopping and I bet it's great if you want to enjoy some sunny days at the beach during summer. It's probably even a decent place to spend your spring break if you are from around the area and don't have the budget to travel south, but compared to PCB or Cancun there is not a lot going on during spring break on Myrtle Beach.
