Need a vacation? You can enjoy more than 60 miles of sand, sun, and fun in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Family Kingdom
Take a break from the beach and check out this great, family friendly amusement park. More than 30 thrilling rides fill this amusement park like wooden coasters, steel coasters, log flumes, and a whole water park. 

Ripley's Aquarium
Don't go looking for sharks in the water, instead you'll find them at Ripley's Aquarium. When you need a break from the sun, or the weather has become rainy, spend an afternoon exploring the 85,000 square foot aquarium with a marine life petting zoo. 

The Beach
Don't forget the reason most people come: the beach! The beaches in South Carolina are free so all you need is a beach towel and a cool drink. Some areas have lifeguards on duty and beach chairs to rent. When you need something to eat just take a short walk to the boardwalk.

At Thai Luang Restaurant, you’re instantly greeted with a smile and a staff that's eager to help. Start with one of its two imported bottled beers or a Thai iced tea, which are all refreshing while you’re enjoying some spicy food. Its signature dish is the crispy duck with sweet basil stir fried with garlic and chili sauce. For $20, it’s a large portion, so it’s best to share with a friend. Be wary of the level of spiciness though — the heat is increased here, so ‘Thai hot’ means very hot! Lunchtime is a busy time for Thai Luang, so you might encounter a short wait. Lunch comes with a traditional spicy lemongrass soup and a spring roll and along with your entrée, that is plenty of food to enjoy.
