This morning we took about a ten mile bike ride on the beach from the state park south. There were several resorts and a lot of beautiful homes along the ocean. The beach here is hard packed sand just like Daytona and bike riding was awesome! Later in the morning we took a tour of Myrtle Beach and were amazed at how developed it is. We knew it was a popular destination, but didn't know it was so developed. The resort hotels go on for about five miles, and there are non-stop restaurants and shopping along the main drag for miles. There is a nice boardwalk in the main downtown area that goes along the beach for about a mile in between two piers. Lots of hotels, gift shops and bars along the boardwalk and restaurants and arcades. It looks like this place would be busy at the height of peak season, but right now it is still a bit slow.
On Friday we are going to make another move further up the coast to North Carolina and the outer banks. We plan on camping there for four nights and do some more exploring.
Happy trails!
