South Carolina is one of the most popular beach vacation spots in the country. Every year, millions of people, comprising both locals and foreigners, flock to the vacation beach houses here and have a great time with their loved ones. So, if you have chosen South Carolina for your next vacation, let me first tell you that you have made a good choice.
The Palmetto State boasts of some of the most beautiful beaches in the country with nearly 200 miles of coastline. The picturesque coast of South Carolina has been divided into three regions – Grand Strand, Charleston, and Lowcountry. Each of these regions consists of a number of breathtakingly beautiful beaches and islands which are very popular with tourists. Thanks to the immense popularity of this spot, a large number of South Carolina vacation rentals have sprung up everywhere to cater to the ever-growing number of tourists.
For most people, the very mention of the name South Carolina brings up the memories of the amazingly beautiful Myrtle Beach. Statistics say that nearly 15 million tourists visit Myrtle Beach every year. It is often referred to as the ‘hub of Grand Strand’.
It has everything a fun loving person can ask for – plenty of beaches, championship golf courses, tennis courts, nightclubs, malls, specialty shops, restaurants, theme parks, movie theaters, high quality vacation beach houses, and many, many more. In short, it has something in store for every single person in your family.
Start your day with a trip to the Myrtle Beach State Park, take your kids to Ripley’s Aquarium, take a stroll in Barefoot Landing, and listen to some rock n’ roll in Freestyle Music Park. If you are a big fan of water sports, Captain Dick’s Marina and Captain Brant’s Fishing Adventure have plenty in store for you.
You can go snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, parasailing, or jet skiing and have a great time with your family. If you love fine dining, there is a long list of restaurants you should check out – Seafare Seafood & Prime Rib Buffet, Captain George’s Seafood Restaurant, Crabman’s Seafood & Country Buffet, Hot Fish Club, and many more.
Nightlife in Myrtle Beach is nothing short of exciting. You can watch live music performances by various artists, dance to funky music in nightclubs, and enjoy the buzz of this place. If your wife loves to shop, take her to the Coastal Grand Mall, Wolf Creek Gallery, Callahans of Calabash, and the Myrtle Beach Flea Market.
Accommodation in South Carolina is not a problem at all if you plan your vacation at the right time. Though there are a large number of South Carolina vacation rentals available, they get booked out fairly quickly. So, you need to plan your vacation at least six to eight months in advance to make sure you get a nice, cozy beach house where you can stay and enjoy your vacation thoroughly.
From amazing beaches to exciting nightlife, high quality restaurants, amusement parks, shopping malls, and luxury vacation beach houses, South Carolina has got it all. So, if you are looking for a fun filled vacation, this is the place you need to visit.

Top 7 Fun Places To Propose In California
Category Uncategorized
One of the great things about proposing marriage is the fun you’ll have coming up with a creative place to pop the question. If you live in California or are considering a visit, here are 7 fun places you might want to consider for your marriage proposal:
1. Ferris Wheel – Santa Monica Pier
The Santa Monica Pier is a great place to pop the question. You can spend all day soaking up the sun on the beach, then, when the sun starts to set, take a ride on the Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier where you can propose to a spectacular sunset, then head on over to Ocean Ave. Seafood for dinner and champagne.
2. Sunset Gondola Rides – Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach is another beautiful place to propose marriage. And, there’s no better spot to do that than on a Sunset Gondola Cruise through the canals of Huntington Harbour and Sunset Beach. They encourage you to bring the beverage of your choice, where your gondolier will be happy to uncork it and provide cups. Your gondolier can also sing for the two of you. Gondola Cruises are available 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. for two to six people. Call them at 562-592-3295 to book a gondola.
3. Top of Splash Mountain – Disneyland
What better way to ask your sweetheart to take the plunge with you than on the 5-story Splash Mountain plunge ride at Disneyland, where you can pop the question right before the 52-feet drop. Be sure to purchase the photo before you leave, so you’ll always have a picture of the moment you proposed.
4. Catalina Island
Celebrate your romance on the “island of romance,” Catalina Island, located 26 miles from the coast of Los Angeles. You can propose in any number of picturesque spots, or you can go for the fun spots like a glass-bottom boat, your own private peddle boat, on a submarine tour, while snorkeling “Lover’s Cove,” or, if you don’t mind the expensive tab, on your own private jeep tour of the island, where you can stop at any number of spots and propose.
5. Hot Air Balloon – Temecula, Del Mar and Napa
Tell her your love is reaching new heights by proposing during a hot-air balloon flight over some of the most beautiful California landscapes. Many of the popular locations include flights over Temecula, Del Mar or Napa Valley. Many locations offer sunset as well as sunrise flights, with a champagne brunch or toast upon landing. Hot Air Flyer offers in-flight champagne service while on their sunset flights over Temecula and Del Mar. Call them at 714-369-5757 for more information.
6. Helicopter Tour over Los Angeles
See the sights of Los Angeles from a helicopter which will take you on a tour of all the Los Angeles sights – skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles, Dodger Stadium, Staples Center, and the Sunset Strip. Let her know she’s the real star by proposing while flying over the Hollywood Sign. You can also have the helicopter land at the Santa Monica Airport for dinner at the fabulous Typhoon Restaurant.
7. Dodger Stadium – Scoreboard Message
If the two of your are Dodgers fans, you might consider asking for her hand in marriage with a scoreboard message on the Dodger Stadium Ribbon Board behind 1st and 3rd bases during a Dodgers home game for a cost of $50.00. A Dodger Dog, beer and a proposal, what could be more perfect?
These are just a sampling of some of the creative ways and places to propose marriage in California. There are probably a million other ways and places, each as unique as you.
