Myrtle Beach Area Is Great For Retirement

Every day someone contacts me about wanting to retire in Myrtle Beach but after we go over their wish list the search takes us outside of the "city limits" of Myrtle Beach.  Some places may even have a Myrtle Beach mailing address but they are not in the heart of the vacationers playground. 

When you decide to live somewhere permanently chances are being close to the amenities is important and that is what the areas surrounding the City of Myrtle Beach have to offer.  Areas such as North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Longs, the Market Common area of south end Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Litchfield, and Pawley's Island.  Also there are some great areas like Calabash, Carolina Shores, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, and Holden Beach just over the boarder in North Carolina that have attracted many retirees.

When you begin to consider retirement start a wish list of everything that matters or that will be important in your future.

Spring Has Sprung

In my February Blog pictures you see snow that fell in North Myrtle Beach, SC but on that same day a few hours later the snow was gone. A few weeks went by and the month of March arrived and with it the early signs of Spring. Flowers are blooming and temperatures have returned to normal which is in the 60s and 70s. Spring is my favorite time of year in the Myrtle Beach area because it lasts for several months. When we lived in the northeast springtime weather shortened to the point it seemed to last only days.

North Myrtle Beach February 2010 Snow

Pictures from North Myrtle Beach snow that melted quickly.

Winter Weather In Myrtle Beach

I've been teasing friends and family in the northeast because they have received record snow during the past few weeks. Well since last year the North Myrtle Beach area saw a dusting of snow which hadn't happened in at least six years and Myrtle Beach had no snow I felt smug.

The weather forcast for Myrtle Beach on Friday, February 12, 2010 is snow of 1" - 3". I guess since they are calling for snow in Florida and the fact that even if there is some snow it melts almost before you can grab your camera I can still say "Are you ready to move to Myrtle Beach?"
