5. Where to stay in Myrtle Beach - North, Central, or South?

North Myrtle Beach is a destination all-its-own. It has the most relaxed feel and is recommended for young families and those looking for a quieter stay. Central Myrtle Beach is where most of the action happens. This is the location of the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, Downtown Myrtle Beach, and some of the area's top resorts in the "Golden Mile" district. If you're looking to get the full beach-destination experience including shows, thrill rides, and plenty of dining and night-life, you'll consider Central. South Myrtle Beach is the oldest area, but still offers great lodging and attractions. The Family Kingdom Amusement Park is located here, a seaside theme park for all ages. Like the rest of Myrtle Beach, South offers great dining and shopping, but isn't quiet as "fresh" and "new" as the northern areas.
