Retiring in Myrtle Beach, SC


Myrtle Beach's coastline, attractions, and recreation activities,
combined with the warm climate and low cost of living, make it
too good to resist.

By Betsy Blenchard

Myrtle Beach has long been known as one of the nation's top vacation spots for retired Americans, but for many people who want to live the Myrtle Beach lifestyle year-round, the Grand Strand is fast becoming a favorite retirement destination. And who could blame them? This area's beaches, attractions, and recreation activities, combined with the warm climate and low cost of living, make it too good to resist. But most importantly, Myrtle Beach has an ageless appeal that keeps it young and spirited.

When looking toward retirement, one word can be used to describe the most important component-Lifestyle. And Myrtle Beach surely offers an incredible one. Myrtle Beach provides socialization, continuing education, fitness and recreation components that lead to a rich and fulfilling lifestyle.

The Grand Strand's climate offers plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities every month of the year, while allowing residents to still enjoy the changing seasons. The area is graced with an average of 215 days of sunshine every year. With that kind of weather, residents can take full advantage of the 115 completed golf courses, 200-plus tennis courts, water sports, fishing, outdoor shopping, and the natural beauty of the coast.

Myrtle Beach offers a virtually unlimited choice of golf courses giving it the title of "seaside golf capitol of the world." But many more options along the Grand Strand will entice the sports enthusiast. From professional baseball and soccer to automobile racing and tennis, sports and recreation opportunities are booming.

The Grand Strand's entertainment industry has erupted, as well. With nearly a dozen theaters hosting an array of diverse entertainment year round, from country & western shows to comedy acts to medieval banquets, you're sure to be entertained.

The area is also a shopper's paradise. There are over 200 factory outlet stores, malls, area shops, and more. And don't forget all the restaurants - from casual seafood buffets to fine dining.

And with so many family oriented activities, such as water parks, aquariums, museums, and zoos, the grandkids will beg to visit.

Beyond recreation and entertainment, Myrtle Beach offers options for better health and continuing education. The healthcare industry is expanding rapidly in the area. All of the Myrtle Beach area's hospitals are undertaking major expansion programs. Coastal Carolina University offers the Lifelong Learning Society, a learning in retirement program designed for adults who are interested in learning, exchanging ideas, andbecoming more socially and culturally interactive.

The key element to all Myrtle Beach has to offer is its affordability. With a cost of living that is consistently below the national average and affordable housing, retirees can be financially secure in the Myrtle Beach area. Many retirees can afford to buy their new homes in cash after selling a home in a higher priced market.

With such a wide array of choices and opportunities, the Myrtle Beach area offers a lifestyle for retirees that few destinations can match.
