There is no better place to fish than on the ocean.  Myrtle Beach has tons of amazing fishing spots to try out. Stay at Springmaid Beach Resort and fish off their great pier, which was just named the best pier for fishing by readers of the Myrtle Beach Herald! Springmaid’s Myrtle Beach pier is the area’s longest pier at 1060 feet! This t-shaped pier is 36 feet wide at the base with a 110-foot T at end. There are dozens of amazing places to cast a line and catch an epic fish. The pier is the site of dozens of fishing tournaments and is one of the best places to catch Spanish mackerel, trout, whiting, croaker and blue fish during the summer months.

The Springmaid Beach Pier is one of the best landmarks in the Myrtle Beach area. The pier was even listed as one of the “102 things to do” in the area by Myrtlebeach.com. Even if fishing isn’t on the to-do list, the Springmaid Beach Pier is still a must-see location in Myrtle Beach. The pier features its own gift shop, the Fish Tales General Store that sells t-shirts, hats and beach accessories. Not to be outdone, there is also the Tackle Box for fishing supplies. Have a bite to eat or a refreshing beverage at BARnacles, a full restaurant and bar, also located on the Springmaid Beach Pier.

Come take a beautiful panoramic picture of the Atlantic Ocean from the pier or just relax and watch the waves crash during your vacation to Myrtle Beach. There are dozens of great oceanfront hotels in Myrtle Beach but only Springmaid Beach Resort has their very own pier. Book a stay with Springmaid Beach Resort and find out why they are considered one of the best hotels in Myrtle Beach with some of the friendliest staff around.

There are dozens of great attractions to see but very few of them include dinner and a show. Head to the House of Blues Myrtle Beach located in Barefoot Landing for an amazing dinner show that will leave you spellbound. The House of Blues Myrtle Beach in conjunction with Murder Mystery Productions puts on a fun Murder Mystery Dinner Theater throughout the summer. This interactive who did it dinner show lets the audience in on the game of trying to figure out who the killer is. Patrons will watch as actors take revenge on those who did them wrong. Patrons will be served an amazing three-course meal while they watch the show play out in front of them. This attraction is recommended for ages 13 and up, as younger children might be frightened.  There is family style seating for the event and the show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets include dinner and the show for $42 per person. The show schedule and theme vary, so make sure to check out the House of Blues website for more information.

All sorts of things go into planning an amazing beach vacation. Picking out the perfect vacation location, hotel and activities is only half the battle. There are so many little things that are needed for a vacation that are so easy to forget. Myrtle Beach resorts want to make sure you have the best vacation possible. Here is a handy list of five items you have to bring with you on a Myrtle Beach vacation (besides the obvious swimsuit and flip flops).

1. Sense of Humor- This is by far the most important thing on the list. Nothing ruins a vacation faster then someone getting mad over something really trivial.  Living in Myrtle Beach year-round, I have seen vacationers get pissed off over things like long-lines at Wal-Mart or slow service at a restaurant. Myrtle Beach is busy in the summer and there is going to be traffic and waits. Don’t let it get you upset, remember you are still on vacation and a lot of people don’t even get one of those.

2. Sunscreen- I have made this mistake numerous times. The sun’s rays are much stronger at the beach and the reflection off the water just makes it worse. Make sure to bring sunscreen, even if you never burn and even if you are only going to be out for thirty minutes. One really bad sunburn can ruin an entire beach vacation.

3. Beach Towels- Like sunscreen this seems self-explanatory, if you are heading to the beach – you need towels. Buy towels at home and bring them with you. Sure you can buy beach towels in town, but everything in town tends to be much more expensive.

4. Cheap Sunglasses- Sunglasses are one of the most often lost things during a beach vacation. People leave them everywhere: the beach, hotels, restaurants, attractions, park benches, etc. You don’t want to lose a pair of $300 designer sunglasses during your vacation. Invest in a few cheap pairs to come with you to the beach instead.

5. GPS- The Myrtle Beach area can be a little tricky to navigate: many roads have similar sounding names or change names through intersections; there is the north section of Myrtle Beach and the city of North Myrtle Beach. Bring a GPS or use the GPS in your phone to navigate the area. Nothing causes more accidents in the Grand Strand then someone pulling a U-turn or cutting off traffic because they are going to miss their turn. The GPS will make it much easier for everyone.

Pack these necessities and your vacation is sure to be a breeze. Make your summer vacation unforgettable with an amazing oceanfront hotel and great last minute deals to Myrtle Beach.
