What makes Myrtle Beach special?

What makes Myrtle Beach special?

Culinarily, the great seafood. Go to C&C Seafood in Murrells Inlet and try a whole fish or soft-shell crabs. They come from the boats behind Divine Fish House, the crabs from a guy in McClellanville who hand picks them out of a holding talk as soon as they molt. Fresh shrimp, oysters, how could you beat that?

The fresh produce, honey, and other cool stuff at the farmers market every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. The goat cheese from Black Creek Farm. The farmers market on 10th and Oak is every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Country ham from Lee’s Produce in Murrells Inlet. I bought a slab of side meat that was amazing, used it for cooking demos in NYC and Atlanta.

Shrimp season is May through the end of the year, almost all year round! White roes shrimp in the spring, browns in the summer, then whites in the fall, getting bigger as the end of the year approaches. There are numerous shrimp hawkers, just look closely and make sure they look and smell fresh.

All of the great restaurants and chefs. We have world class dining and people who believe in this area passionately. Watch for a cookbook from the Myrtle Beach ACF soon!

The beach, 60 miles of beautiful beach, much of it uncrowded even in the height of summer season. I just bought a beach Hobie, can’t wait for this summer!

A short list, of course we have world class golf, shopping, amusements parks, and lots of other great stuff. I am glad to live here if you have never been, come see what we have to offer.

Ciao!
