Myrtle Beach proper is the lively, high-energy center of the Grand Strand with the famous Boardwalk, SkyWheel, and Broadway at the Beach. Most GGC groups stay in North Myrtle Beach and day-trip south."},{q:"Is a car necessary for a Myrtle Beach girls' trip?",a:"Yes — a rental car is the smartest move. The Grand Strand stretches 34 miles and the best spots (North Myrtle Beach, the Boardwalk, Murrells Inlet's MarshWalk, Brookgreen Gardens, and Conway) are spread out. Rideshares work for dinner, but a car makes four-area exploring far easier and removes the surge-pricing headache."},{q:"What is the best time of year to visit the Myrtle Beach area?",a:"Late spring (May) and early fall (September through October) offer warm weather, calmer beaches, and lower hotel rates compared to the summer peak. Brookgreen Gardens and the MarshWalk are beautiful in both seasons, and shoulder-season crowds make everything from parking to restaurant waits noticeably easier."},{q:"What should we do in Murrells Inlet?",a:"Make a beeline for the MarshWalk — a half-mile waterfront boardwalk lined with seafood restaurants, cocktail bars, and live music overlooking the tidal marsh. Pair it with an afternoon at Brookgreen Gardens (sculpture, gardens, and a wildlife preserve) or a beach day at Huntington Beach State Park, and you have a perfect full-day detour from your North Myrtle Beach home base."}],i=l([{id:"north-myrtle",number:"01",reverse:!1,image:"/images/myrtle-north-beach.jpg",alt:"Sunrise over the wide beach in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina",vibeTag:"Best all-around home base",eyebrow:"Easygoing beach days + polished nights",name:"North Myrtle Beach",copy:"A little calmer, a little roomier, and still close to everything.
