Based upon my one visit to Myrtle Beach (I was vacationing at Hilton Head) I coined the phrase “the carney capital of the Carolinas.
When we were telling folks on Hilton Head that we would be going up to MB to check out Bike week, they all asked why and gave us the look like you aren’t really serious about that are you. When we got there we knew what they meant and were trying to convey.
I went to MB one time. It’s like a giant adult carnival w/ tons of strip clubs & bars. Give me Charleston any day. Even the super touristy areas are 100 times more charming than MB.
