The city of Myrtle Beach in South Carolina is found on a man-made island, separated from the continental United States since 1963, by the Intracoastal Waterway.

It is a mecca for golfers boasting approximately 100 courses of varying levels of difficulty and price-range, and almost just as many companies vying to find the right golf package for whatever your heart desires.

Other than golf, Myrtle Beach is a major tourist destination attracting some 14 million visitors each year. The area has miles and miles of pristine beaches, water sports and parks, fishing, amusements, theatre, hundreds of restaurants and hotel resorts galore.

We are staying at the Briarcliffe RV Resort, a 300-site park, with a clubhouse and pool, a store, basketball court, mini golf in addition to all the regular stuff such as laundry facilities, showers and restrooms.

The park also backs up to the Intracoastal Waterway.
