Getting There

The popularity of the Grand Strand has soared, with an estimated 12 million visitors pouring in every year. It is easy to avoid traffic snarls if you travel at the right times of day and night. Plan your trip so that you will be driving U.S. Highway 501 into Myrtle Beach before 7 AM or after 7 PM Monday through Thursday, or in the middle of the day. Another rule of thumb is to stay off beach exit roads right after hotel checkout time on Saturdays and Sundays. You will be much better off to check out of your room, put the bags in the car and plan to spend time in town or on the beach until late afternoon.

An excellent highway system has recently been completed providing easy access from all directions and within the area.

If you’re coming to the Grand Strand from eastern North Carolina, try Interstate 40 east or U.S. Highway 17 south to Wilmington, North Carolina. At Wilmington, head southbound on U.S. 17. Avoid rush hours.

From Charleston, take U.S. 17 north. It could be crowded at peak traffic times.

If you’re traveling north on Interstate 95, take Exit 170 (clearly marked “Myrtle Beach”), near Florence. Take U.S. Highway 76 to U.S. 501 and follow it the rest of the way. Vacationers heading to North Strand beaches — Little River, Crescent Beach, Ocean Drive, Atlantic Beach and Windy Hill — should veer to the left at Marion, cross two lanes of U.S. 501 and continue on U.S. 76. At Nichols, take a right onto S.C. Highway 9.

If you’re traveling Interstate 20, follow the signs toward Florence. The road will merge into I-95 north and bypass Florence. Then take Exit 170, same as if you’d come the whole way on I-95.

If you’re traveling south on I-95, take Exit 193 at Dillon. Head toward Latta, then take U.S. 501. If you’re going to North Myrtle Beach, you can take S.C. 9 all the way from Dillon.

Gatlinburg is accessible via US Routes 321 and 441. Once in town, getting around is easy once you have a city map and a roll of quarters for the trolleys… and you don’t have to worry about where to park your car.

Along “The Parkway” you’ll find over 400 shops including arts and crafts, village-style stores, souvenir and gift shops and the famed Mountain Mall. Enjoy!

Places to Stay

As one of the major I-95 interchanges, exit 5 is literally a lodging paradise! Here is only a partial list of the motels here: Budget Inn, Carolina Inn Express, Comfort Inn, Days Inn, Economy Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Howard Johnson, Knights Inn, Magnolia Motel, Masters Inn, Red Carpet Inn, and Super 8. If you’re an RV’er, there’s camping nearby too! The Gateway Campground is easy to get to from I-95 exit 8.

Places to Eat

If seafood is your weakness, try Cap’n Bill’s. For great steaks check out Gene’s at the Budget Inn. I-95, Exit 5 also has dozens of fast foods too! Burger King, Denny’s, KFC, McDonald’s, Shoney’s, Subway, Wendy’s and the Waffle House are just a few. I personally recommend Shoney’s… they have reasonably priced meals and something for everyone!

Places to Go

There are a number of excellent golf courses nearby including Whispering Pines. Shopping is also plentiful here. Bargain hunt at the Hardeeville Factory Outlet Mall, located right at the exit. There’s also a tourist info center here too!

Getting Around

Everythings right at exit 5… both east and west. What could be easier? Exit 8, just 3 miles north on I-95 is expected to grow commercially as well.

Places to Stay

Now down to the nitty-gritty. Topping the list of places to stay is the Hilton, sandwiched between the “twin towers”. It is visible for miles down the turnpike and is conveinient for business travellers, as well as whenever any politicians are staying in the area. A Holiday Inn, as mentioned in the 2001 edition, will be completed soon and sits close to the towers near the turnpike. Going down a notch, there are familiar chains such as the Motel 6, (which has just added an extended-stay building)Macintosh Inn, and the Ramada Inn. I have been to all of these and found them suitable. As far as food at these establishments are concerned, I have had Easter brunch at the Ramada’s downstairs restaurant and found the service and price reasonable. The Hilton is home to the annual high school prom here, and the food is unbelievable. If you don’t believe me, call the White House.

Places to Eat

From low to high, there are the little strip mall diners that I don’t recommend, that is unless you have a lot of Maalox on hand. There are McDonalds, Miami Subs, Baja Fresh, Wendy’s, Burger King, Denny’s, Roy Rogers, Olive Garden, Chili’s, Chi-Chi’s, Ruby Tuesday’s, Red Lobster, and Applebee’s are all great familiar eateries. Personally, both the Colonial and Seville Diners are great but I prefer the Colonial for selection and price. Very good coffee for the early morning start-ups. The Tomato Factory on Ryder’s Lane is very good but call ahead for seating as theres always a wait. Finally, The Blue Water Seafood Company is a small, elegant, restaurant near the GMC dealership that has the finest seafood in the area. Make sure to come with enough cash and without the kids. There is also the Chateau, but that is on Cranbury Road and is the kind of place you would have your wedding at (not for a little dinner).

Places to Go

This is probably where East Brunswick falls short. Entertainment is few and far between for a town this size, but we manage. The movie theater in the mall has 20+ screens, and is a favorite hangout of the high school crowd on Friday nights. There’s a bunch of tanning salons, some arcades, an indoor sports place called Sports N’ Stuff, and thats about it.

Getting Around

If you enter town from the turnpike by the towers and the big East brunswick sign, the traffic will bottleneck over the bridge because you lose a lane at the footbridge. If that happens, you can go turn right at Eggers Street at the footbridge traffic light and follow down until you see the east brunswick racquet club on the left of the road. Follow that down to the Toys R Us-then u should be in a parking lot with a Shopper’s World-then you can see Route 18 from there and go back on or continue on the back road near the Mr.Pizza and follow straight past the junior high on your right until you see a cream & red warehouse at the end of the road with a light and apartments on your right. Left takes you to 18, right takes you to Ryder’s Lane and the Acme Shopping Center. This is probably the best advice to give you if you come in during rush hour. Also, for local news turn to 1450 am and 98.3 fm.

Places to Stay

The closest motel to I-95 is Howard Johnson’s on Route 1 North. Walking distance from the motel are a Benigans and a Fudruckers restaurants. 5 minutes off of I-95 on Route 18 North and you are in the heart of downtown NB.

All downtown: The Old bay for seafood, Old Man Raferty’s for american cuisine, La Fontanna for Elegant Italian, Marita’s Cantina for Mexican, Stuff-yer-face for Stomboli’s, Thomas Sweet for Ice Cream, and many many more. Also in the city, Gambino’s Inn on Remsen Ave is excellent family owned and family friendly Italian. Los Molinos is terrific spanish cuisine at a good price.
