Myrtle
beach, South Carolina is an active tourist destination near the north end of the state's coastline. The
resort city is at the center of the Grand Strand, a 60-mile stretch of
beaches that reaches into North Carolina. Along with its many hotels, golf courses, theme parks and other attractions, the area has nearly 2,000 restaurants, including a variety that serve Mediterranean cuisine.
The Collectors Cafe & Gallery
The Collectors Cafe & Gallery is a quirky establishment located just a few blocks from the beach, that combines three things: It is a coffee house and lounge, an art gallery and a Mediterranean restaurant with a full dinner menu. It is open every day except Sunday, with dinner served from 6 until 10 p.m..

La Mezzaluna
La Mezzaluna is more traditional in its concept but offers a more exciting menu. This restaurant serves a mix of Italian and French cuisine. Its location also adds to the experience, as the dining room has a view of the Atlantic Ocean.

Jerusalem Restaurant
Jerusalem Restaurant's loud and busy atmosphere isn't for everyone, but for many guests it feels similar to the Israeli restaurants that the menu is drawn from. All the food served here is kosher. The restaurant also includes a small market.
