Go to Wilmington. It's an hour north, and there's a lot to do in downtown Wilmington.

I like Charleston, haven't been to Conway, SC. I prefer Wilmington over Charleston but am biased BC I spent some time there growing up, the beaches are better IMO, and I'm partial to their downtown. I believe you're closer to Wilmington.
I can't think of a single quaint thing in myrtle beach.

Surprisingly it's pretty quiet.  Kids are back at school


lol

[spedrunner]

I will look into Wilmington as well. I'm tired of driving. Lol

[luckyval]

Even Sunset Beach and Calabash are cute areas if you want a shorter drive

Charleston is amazing. I haven't been to Wilmington.

I have family in Wilmington and it is nice. I will say, though, that when we drove to Myrtle Beach one year, it took forever due to traffic. I think it's about 70 miles, but took maybe 2.5-3 hours?

I live in Wilmington, but with the exception of our small dowtown or the two beaches (wrightsville is much less commercialized) it's your basic suburban town with tons of chains. Another option is closer to SC, Bald Head Island or Southport.

I recommend Charleston too! I am not a fan of Myrtle, and have never been to Wilmington.

Southport just south of Wilmington is also a cute town.

I love Charleston. Their downtown area is really fun to walk around. I live in Charlotte and have been to charleston, myrtle and Wilmington and definitely prefer Charleston. The food alone makes the trip worth it!

Seriously. If I lived IN Charleston, I'd be 900 lbs. And broke. lol

I'm biased bc Charleston is one of my favorite cities ever, we go every year for our anniversary. I never get tired of walking around that city. The houses are amazing, there is so much to see, and it's filled with history. Oh and yeah, the food. lol.

Ladies are any of you teachers in sc or have teacher friends or contacts you could put me in touch with? I absolutely love it here. I met with a realtor yesterday and found my perfect place already......

Ps. Went to historic Conway bc it was so close. Eh. Few cute shops. Pretty dead though. A lot of stores closing down or closed down. Cute restaurants and river walk and tonsssssss of attorneys!? Lol

spedrunner where are you thinking about moving to??

ETA: Reading fail, you mean you are visiting North Myrtle and thinking about moving there. I know that the teacher salaries are higher in SC than in NC. A lot of people who teach move to the Fort Mill, SC area because the schools are good there, the pay is higher than in NC, and it's right on the border so technically you're living in the Charlotte area. Wish I knew teachers in the coastal area that I could refer you to! My great aunt and uncle (92 years old, both of them) just sold their house in Calabash, NC so they could go into assisted living. They lived there for 30 years. I LOVED going to visit them, it is the greatest area. I'm sad they aren't there anymore.

[sporklemotion]

I am a teacher, but nowhere near SC. I know that salaries in NC are super low compared to my area (like 60%), and that the political climate is tough. Cost of living is lower, but not that much lower. Not sure if SC is the same.
Glad you are enjoying it!

Are you thinking of moving to N Myrtle or Charleston?
