What To Pack
Don’t forget your sunscreen! The sun here is very strong, beautiful, but strong! The condos have a beautiful view of the ocean so you don’t want to forget your camera either! You’ll want to bring swimsuits, sandals, shorts, T- shirts, sweatshirts for at night, jeans, swimsuit cover-up, tennis shoes, beach towels, sunglasses, body board or rafts for swimming and sand toys if you have children. There are also some great restaurants that are a little more upscale so one semi-dressy outfit would also be a a great idea. If golfing remember to pack your clubs and appropriate wear as some of the course are more like country clubs.
Transport
The nearest major airport is Myrtle Beach International Airport — MYR — located at 1100 Jetport Road, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577. Since everything is so close by, lots of people drive golf carts all around their resorts AND outside them. Some attractions are walk-able, so you may not need a car or golf cart for all things. However, renting a car is a great idea for quick trips everywhere and you can reserve one at the airport if needed.
