We had looked at Myrtle Beach twice, we stayed a week each time, went to some shows, walked the boardwalk and looked at many homes. Housing was very affordable, a lot of activities and golf courses are numerous. However, everywhere we went was families and children galore. I have nothing against children, but I much prefer being in a community of 55+. It's like we're in high school again, everyone is the same age or thereabouts, even when going to the movies or the restaurants.
