Meet a Mermaid
At the end of a sultry summer day, U.S. 17 slips into the neon, glitz, and bustle of Myrtle Beach. The Grand Strand is as boisterous as a roller coaster ride at The Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park. Be sure to check out this longtime family favorite during its farewell season. Buffet restaurants along the highway loom as large as domed stadiums.
