First time MB visitors

We will be going to Myrtle Beach in April for the first time. Was wondering if there were any tours that we should take of the area or even cruises.

We plan on spending a lot of time at the beach, get in some shopping, and going out to dinner.

Is there anything that is considered a ';must see'; in Myrtle Beach?

Thanks for the info.

Just south of MB on HWY 17, is Brookgreen Gardens. It is fantasic and in the spring when the azaleas are blooming, it should not be missed.

There is tons to do so you definately will not be bored. Please check out my post ';A locals recommendation for any type of food'; for some great food suggestions. There are casino cruises (Southern Elegance is nice) that runs out of Little River if you are interested in that. The Jungle Princess %26amp; Pirates of Barefoot Landing (800-685-6601)are dancing, dining or sightseeing cruises that go down the Intercoastal Waterway. There is also Carolina Safari Tours (843-497-5330), which may be a good choice being you are a first time visitor. It is a jeep which leads you on an interesting tour around town showing you where a lot of different things are located. For shopping I would strongly recommend the new Coastal Grand Mall, Broadway at the Beach and the Tanger Outlets. There is a lot to do at Broadway at the Beach which is a large shopping %26amp; entertainment complex surrounding a lake. There are tons of restaurants, Ripleys Aquarium (which I also recommend), the IMAX theater, a regular movie theater, a putt putt course and paddleboats. That is also where Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood and Margaritaville is. There are tons of shows in Myrtle Beach...Dixie Stampede, Medieval Times (which are both show %26amp; dinner), Legends in Concert, Carolina Opry and Alabama Theater. Nascar Speedpark is fun for anyone who likes to ride go-karts. La Belle Amie is a vineyard in North Myrtle Beach that offers tours %26amp; wine tastings. Enjoy your trip and please let me know if I can help with anything else!

Do Not,I repeat DO NOT go on Gator Tours out of Murrells Inlet. Very Boring. If you feel like driving go to Charleston for a carriage ride tour of the historic district.
