Myrtle Beach South Carolina is gaining much national recognition as one of the few "undervalued coastal real estate markets."
US Airways will feature the Grand Strand in its new "In Flight" magazine due in part to its strong growth trends and rise in popularity. The "Grand Strand" refers to the 60 miles coastline, stretching from Georgetown, SC northward to the North Carolina state line.
In a recent online pole of favorite beaches conducted Travel and National Geographic Traveler magazine, Myrtle Beach ranked No. 2 of a list of Top 10 Beaches. The qualities most important to beachgoers were cleanliness, scenery, climate, water temperature, and romance, in that order.
The Grand Strand region was ranked among the top five golf values in the United States by Money magazine.
