Top 10 South Myrtle Beach Hotels

By

South Myrtle Beach hotels are the best option if you want to be close to the action without being in the middle of it all. While “South Myrtle Beach” isn’t a separate city like North Myrtle Beach, the term generally refers to the area from the end of the Boardwalk/Downtown district all the way to Surfside Beach and Garden City. It’s a lovely stretch with plenty of attractions including Family Kingdom, Myrtle Beach’s only seaside amusement park, as well as The Market Common. 

Although South Myrtle Beach doesn’t feature as many attractions as the Boardwalk/Downtown area, many vacationers consider the quieter atmosphere a plus. Instead of experiencing nonstop action and entertainment, visitors who stay at the best South Myrtle Beach hotels enjoy beautiful accommodations (many of which are more affordable than options in the city center), serene vistas, and uncrowded beaches—all while remaining just a short drive from the area’s most popular restaurants, shopping, and other attractions.

If this type of low-key location sounds like your dream beach vacation, these top 10 South Myrtle Beach hotels and resorts may be your best bet for a relaxing experience. Also, remember to check out our Myrtle Beach hotel deals to find discounts on rooms or suites in South Myrtle Beach.
