Myrtle Beach State Park: Drive around 10 minutes outside the City of Myrtle Beach, and you'll find 312 acres of beautiful woodland and other natural wonders. Myrtle Beach State Park provides you with many opportunities to learn more about the area's natural habitat. There's even a mile-long beach to explore if you're craving sand and surf.

Conway, SC: Sometimes, the best way to get away from the busy life of the city is to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a quaint small town. Just around a half-hour's drive from Myrtle Beach, you'll find Conway.
