Just returned from a few day stay in N. Myrtle Beach at the Sands. They have a great outside bar (Ocean Annie's) as well as restaurant and inside bar (Sandals). If you are a real party'er there is also a cool little local hangout called flip flops just a couple blocks away that will gladly serve you til 5 am (weekdays only)

Many people will come to the hotel for the atmosphere so it keeps the faces changing over the stay

Just my 2cents do with it what you will

Have you ever thought about a rental house? We do this a lot when traveling, we enjoy extra space, washer, dryer, kitchen and normally we find someplace that has a garage especially if traveling on or with the bike. A few years ago we rented a house on Sunset Beach , very close to Myrtle Beach it was incredible and more relaxing than a hotel.

Myrtle Beach Bike Week? Really?

I understand that Myrtle Beach doesn't really want this happening any more, and they make it as difficult as possible for Bikers. Many go elsewhere to avoid the hassle, etc.

surfside and garden city beach is the place to stay for bike week . every thing has moved out of town mostly . because of new local laws trying to run off bikers

they are no hassles the cops are cool as they can be. Most people in myrtle beach want the bikers. If you don't come to the rally don't get on here and bash it. Just stay home like you normally do anyway. i won't let the city council tell me when and where i can ride! Make a stand don't wait for somebody else to do it for you. everybody needs to come and have a good time. as for your question 99.9% of all motels / hotels and other businesses welcome you and the harley rally.

I've been staying at Myrtle Beach Resort for the last 10 years. It's about a mile or so south of Myrtle Beach Harley on 17 just before you hit surfside. They have everything there, a bunch of pools, hot tubs, snack bar, deli, and beach front bar. They also have security at the enterance so only people staying there get in and more security around the clock in the bike parking area. I like that it's off of the strip, don't have to worry about where your bike is parked and if you want some quiet, you've got it. Bike week is better the last few years there. All the people that want to whine that they don't want us there are staying home and making it easier to get around. The traffic was getting terrible before, it would take 2 or 3 times as long to get from Murrells Inlet to North Myrtle because you'd be just sitting in traffic. There's still plenty going on and a lot of riding to do.

= Tank Bayard = How many times have you been to the rally? If so give us a little info on what you did and if you had fun doing it. My point is come have fun just don't spend your money in the city of M.B. Don't let a few ????? stop the rally.

I figured they didnt ever want bikers there, I havent sat foot there since they called in the national guard back in the early 2000's I spent my money else where. & before that I had attended every year for over a dozen years, & used to go the Myrtle beach at least 5 times a year.

I can say I have not even been to Myrtle Beach for any reason since that incident, & I know of a few others that said they would never set foot there, & havent.
