An Adventure at Myrtle Beach Myrtle Beach is where you can let all of your worries seep away into the ocean like a river.

My family and I got ready for a long time to get ready to go there. We spent hours packing to get ready to depart to go to our beachside residence. We would go to all these delicious food chains.
