Featuring more than 100 golf courses and dozens of miniature putt-putt places, many visitors spend their vacation chasing the little white ball. But the fun doesn't go down when the sun goes down. The Myrtle Beach area boasts several entertainment, dining and shopping complexes, such as Broadway the Beach, Market Common and Barefoot Resort, which are popular hubs for nightlife, and the new Myrtle Beach Boardwalk has revitalized the downtown Ocean Boulevard district.
