Myrtle Beach

Sixty miles of coastline, without the crowds you'd expect.

Myrtle Beach rewards those who know where to look. Past the boardwalk's noise, a run of quieter oceanfront resorts and championship golf courses make it one of the most underrated luxury coastal escapes on the East Coast.

Why it's worth it

  • Oceanfront suites with private balconies along the Golden Mile
  • Championship golf at The Links and a dozen nearby courses
  • Uncrowded, wide beaches even in peak season
  • Direct flights from most East Coast hubs in under two hours

Best for

Golf trips, multi-generational family stays, and long weekends that don't require a passport.
