Caribbean Resort Caters to Unexpected Visitor

Lorrie Walters and her daughter Lacy came to Myrtle Beach for a girls’ weekend getaway and a birthday celebration. They ended up celebrating more “birthdays” than one. After Lacy, who was 34 weeks pregnant at the time, found a great deal on a room at the Caribbean Resort in Myrtle Beach, they couldn’t pass up the chance for some much-needed rest and relaxing at the resort. After all, the baby wasn’t due for six more weeks and their hometown of Charlotte was only three hours away. “We checked in early on Sunday and spent the day at the pool and the beach and had a nice dinner,” Lorrie recalled. “Then my daughter woke me up at 5 a.m. and said, ‘I think my water broke.’ This was my first grandbaby and she was coming on my birthday – Sept. 22.”

Top 4 Places to Watch the World Series, MLB Playoffs in Myrtle Beach

The fall is all about football in the South, but there are still a few places in America that keep up with America’s pastime. Particularly the Fall Classic, Major League Baseball’s biggest time of year with the American and National League Playoffs and the World Series. Myrtle Beach may be a bit guilty of falling head over heels for football before the baseball season has run its course, but visitors who prefer baseball can still find some great places to watch the Grand Ole Game on the Grand Strand. Exactly where may depend on which teams make the playoffs. Because so many people move to the Myrtle Beach area from other cities and bring their baseball allegiances along with them, sports bars and restaurants that cater to those crowds tend to go all out when their hometown teams make the postseason.

Take a Walk on the Mild Side in Myrtle Beach

Just because you’re going on vacation in Myrtle Beach for a week or so doesn’t mean you have to take a break from your exercise schedule. In fact, a trip to the Grand Strand may be just the change of pace you need to keep your workout routine fresh, especially if walking is on the agenda. Instead of looking at the same scenery every day, take advantage of the different landscape on the many walking trails the area has to offer. First and foremost, the best walking trail on the Grand Strand isn’t a trail at all; it’s the beach. While walking on the loose sand is a difficult chore for most, stick to the packed-down sand below the high-tide line and experience a soft surface that’s much better for your feet than concrete, not to mention the beautiful beach scenery and the crashing waves at your feet. But for those who prefer a little more greenery to their scenery, the Grand Strand has a wide range of options for walking, hiking and biking. Here’s a list of five great places to go for a walk in Myrtle Beach:

Greek Festival in Myrtle Beach

Top 5 Pizza Pies in Myrtle Beach

Politics, religion and pizza: Three topics not to be discussed in public unless you’re looking for a fight. Deep dish or thin crust? Pepperonis only or the works? New York-style or Chicago? The debate is as old as time.

Thin-and-crispy peacefully co-exists with thick-and-gooey, no matter how wrong the other side may be.
