You may want to browse thru some of the reviews here at the left and see if there is a particular resort/hotel that interest you (and you son!) Then query the forum here for advice. That way you are getting specific info for what you are looking for.

I would say for attractions and shopping you may want to be near the Ave from say 18th to about 30th (alot of construction going on between 27th to 30th tho%26#39;) This would put you just up the street to Broadway at the Beach (about 2 miles from ocean front on 21st AVe)

There you have shopping, restaurants, Ripleys Aquarium, Mini golf, Magic Quest, NasCar Speedpark (go carts), movie theater, IMAX..check out www.broadwayatthebeach.com

When are you planning you trip for?

Hi Will all the attractions, restaurants etc be open In April? I am coming from the UK mid April with my husband and 16 year old daughter and was going to be staying in North Myrtle Beach but seem to think the better choice will be further south? Any input would be welcome. Also, can anyone use the pools etc in the hotels or do you have to stay there. Many thanks. Sharon

Sharon -- all the shows will be opened, as some of the attractions. Broadway at the Beach (www.broadwayatthebeach.com)-- this is where Ripleys Aquarium, Dragons Lair Mini golf, IMAX, Magic Quest, and The Palace are located --Barefoot Landing (www.bflangin.com)--- House of Blues, Alligator Adventure, Alabama Theater is located here -- are all open. Nascar speedpark (go karts and other amusements) is open. The Pavilion Amusement park,%26amp; Family Kingdom are open on weekends only.

There are things to do in the NMB area, but seems like the majority of the attractions are more in MB. I like the beach and the resort areas at the north end of MB, Monteray Suites, Long Bay, Ocean Reef, The Sands at 77th, and Grande Shores. Still on the ';quiet'; side, nice beach, close enough to attractions, and within walking distance to some small shops, restaurants, and pool bars that usually have some type of entertainment on the weekends that time of year. You may also want to check out the area between say 18th ave n to 30th ave n...say the Camelot, The Breakers or even the Boardwalk. This area is the closest to Broadway at the Beach and still oceanfront.

Some hotels further south, close to the Family Kingdom Amusement Park and little shops would be Holiday Inn Oceanfront, Hampton Inn Oceanfront, and Coral Beach Resort.

As for using the pool area and not being a guest of that hotel, I wont say that you cant do it...I know a number of people that ';pool hop';. Not sure how strict certain hotels are on that policy.

Have a great stay here! :)

HI there, thank s foy your most formative reply. Which do you think is the best out of ';A place at the beach III'; and Pelicans Landing - I cant decide between as they both look lovely. Is the weather usually ok in April, or would you say beachfront is a bit of a waste? Is Ocean Annies open in April?

Thank you

Sharon

Some of the units at A place at the Beach are ';oceanview';...but it seems that the condos at Pelicans (from what I remember) are a bit larger.

Weather in April is usually great. Seems like this year has been a mild one, all in all, so I would expect for April to follow suit. Days are usually in the 60%26#39;s to low 70%26#39;s, with the evenings being just cool enough for a light jacket at times. Seems like we dont get that much rainfall during April either...so you can enjoy the great ';Carolina Blue'; skiies that we%26#39;re famous for! I would deffinately beach it while you are here...and yes, Ocean Annies will be open in April. Have a great time! :)
