[Jess_VacayMode]

I am in Charleston, SC. Unsure where you are in SC but Charleston is always a great short trip.

NC:
-Outer Banks
-Bald Head Island

TN:
-Nashville
-East TN for mtns/rivers

GA:
-Just booked a trip to Tybee Island right outside of Savannah. 1st time but I am super excited.

We live in GA and thinking about going to Myrtle Beach. Would you see that going during Spring Break is a really bad idea? Any recommendations for places to stay, would like to be close (walking) to the boardwalk.
We're stll pretty new to GA but we've enjoyed Savannah and Tybee Island. Heard good things about Blue Ridge Mountain area. We'd also like to get to Nashville. A popular destination (and for second homes) for people around here is Destin Florida.

I think I may be one of the few in SC but I am not a fan of Myrtle Beach.

We love outer banks. Also love Fl keys.

Really? Why? Is more so on my daughter's to do list. She loves the beach and enjoys going to a boardwalk.

I haven't been there in many, many years so I have no personal knowledge, but I've heard many people say they don't like Myrtle Beach. Usually the complaints are the crowds, the types of crowds, and crime.

Crowds are not even the issue. It is the type of crowds like JimMIA touched on. SO many people just drunk and acting a fool.

I honestly wouldn't recommend Myrtle Beach. If you want this area, maybe go South towards Pawleys Island or Litchfield. Much better area!!
