Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is my new favorite vacation spot. We can't wait to go back. The beaches are beautiful -- covered with sea shells -- and the water is warm. There's boating, fishing, surfing, kayaking, scuba diving, para sailing, windsurfing and just splashing around in the calm waves along its 60 miles of beach. Our hotel was located footsteps from the sand and the view from our balcony was picture perfect.
