Good to know for future vacation plans

We’ve attended the last 3 years and it’s gotten better each year. As far as rides go, it’s pretty flat, so not a lot of twisty’s. With that being said, the country side is beautiful and you can take advantage of some great backroad riding.

In addition the places listed above, we like Capt Archie’s and the Swing Bridge Saloon on the north side. On the south side and a little hard to find is Pawley’s Island Tavern.

Lots of restaurants in Murrel’s Inlet. Pretty good burgers and beach views at River City Cafe in Surfside.

Hope that helps.

heading to Texas then turning east to n.c. It's too much for me. I'll be by myself.

Shoot me a PM if you’d like. We'll be down at our place Wednesday thru Sunday. Maybe we can meet up for a drink - iced tea, of course.

It's coming back strong. Has been since 2012. You won't have any problems finding things to do. Murrell's Inlet, Barefoot Landing & North Myrtle Beach has things to do. By the way, the hotels, bars & restaurants NEVER wanted the bikers to leave. Just a boneheaded city council made some temporary stupid policy decisions. But it's great again..actually might be getting too crowded again. LOL. As long as you are not doing stupid ****, the LEO's are pretty laid back too. Enjoy & have a blast.

With close to 100 golf courses in and around Myrle Beach you better strap your clubs on your bike, NOT. The city council tried to stop the bikes because THEY felt bikes and bikers weren't the image THEY wanted to present because THEY see Myrtle Beach as ONLY for families. Well businesses were loosing a fortune during some of the best beach time of the year. The hell the businesses gave the city council is the reason it's getting better.

I've never ate their. Could never get anyone to go. Maybe I can talk the crew into checking it out this year.
I also forgot about Ocean Annie's in North Myrtle. Nice ocean side bar for us older folks.

You are correct sir, it has gotten better over the past years. I just wish they would allow some vendors to setup at Broadway at the Beach and other locations in the city of Myrtle Beach.
