Get your head out of the gutter, the shag is a dance in South Carolina! If you saw the movie Shag you would know what I’m talking about. (Side note, I loved that movie and want to go see the movie sights while here…).
Anyways, we drove 7/5 hours from Ocala, FL to get here and we are glad we did. It was a lovely reunion with friends from Mexico, Rob and Kris King. We are staying in the very large RV resort, Ocean Lakes Family Resort. Being that it is off season it isn’t packed at all, which is nice. We are right near the beach so a nice breeze is always blowing.
For our first night we started with margaritas at their RV. However, after our beach walk we opted to head into town for drinks and appetizers. It wasn’t a late night as we were exhausted but I anticipate several longer evening ahead of us this week.
I googled ‘odd things to do in Myrtle Beach’ and found a few places I’d like to go. I found 2 wineries (one with a white Merlot), tea at the home of a Declaration of Independence signer, a restaurant with goats (the goats may be on vacation though since it’s winter), Shag lessons, Alice Flagg’s grave and a fried bologna sandwich. Might have to check a few of these out.
I’ll post more at the end of our trip about what we ended up doing. If you have suggestions, send them our way. Happy travels!
