The Reasons I Moved To Myrtle Beach

1. More golf courses per square inch than any other area in the US. I've been told that there are over 90 courses within 40 miles or so. I've tried about 20 - most are very good and the vast majority are user friendly compared to up north. Oh and a lot less expensive with local discounts & special discount packages.

2. More restaurants per square inch than any other area in the US. Now I'm just guessing but if there are 90 golf courses, there must be at least 300 restaurants. I've tried about 25. I really like the ones where you eat outside and overlook the water.

3. A perfect climate - not too hot like Florida and never very cold. Locals tell me that it can get down as low as the mid 20s but that is rare. My experience is that it can get in the mid 30s in the early morning but always warms up to the 50s by 11am.

4. 60 miles of perfect beach. Now I am not a beach person but I do enjoy the very warm water which I am comparing to the cold water up north. Also the beach is so long, it never gets crowded at least not where I go.

5. Entertainment including comedy clubs, live theaters and shows, casino cruises, night life and live music, shopping, fishing excursions, festivals and water sports. Now I do not participate in all of these activities but I know they are available. Shagging is the local dance which I am going to try very soon.

6. Very affordable housing. You can buy a newly constructed home with 1400 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a 2 car garage for under $150,000. Re-sales are even better deals.
