Last weekend we drove to Myrtle beach. Both Paul and I were still a little sick with colds so we thought it would be nice to just relax on the beach and soak up the sun.
We got an awesome parking spot on 79th street (a little north of where the parties happen) and picked a spot on the sand. Then, because the beach is sooooo long, we decided to walk along it, to see what we could see.
The beach is lined with hotels and vacation homes; the sand is busy near the hotels and quiet near the homes. We got a kick out of people-watching, got a little wet in the unexpectedly chilly water, and mostly just kept walking and talking. We picked up some shells then we walked some more. And some more. And then we stopped to watch a sand volleyball tournament. And then we sat down because we were tired and then we walked some more.
We ended up walking 40 blocks down the beach and then 40 blocks back up. 80 blocks? Yes. It was awesome. By the time we got back to our spot we were too thirsty to just sit and relax so we got back in the car and drove down the boulevard to see what we could see. More hotels, lots of shops, tons of people, restaurants, and some live concert. Looks like loads of fun!
We will definitely be going back to Myrtle beach sometime to check out all the places we missed but it was fun to explore a good length of the beach on foot.

Sounds like great fun. I'm headed to the beach on Friday but you can be sure I won't be walking 80 blocks.
