Hi, i'm hoping i can get some help here.

Planning a trip over from the UK with a couple of mates, all in our mid 20s, and aim to spend last week of it (2nd week of july) in Myrtle Beach. Want to chill out on the beach, party pretty hard at night and generally have a good time.

Need to know a few things tho -

1. In terms of looking for somewhere to stay we were hoping to maybe get a beach house or similar but wanted to make sure it is near the nightlife/lively area as opposed to any mainly family zones. Where would that be??

2. Where do you recommend to go out in the evening? Which clubs/bars are really lively around that time of year with young people??

3. Are there any special events on around that time that might be worth checking out ??

Thanks in advance people!
