Author's Most Memorable Moment
Holiday Inn Myrtle Beach West
I was staying at this property, and I decided to stay behind while the rest of my group did some shopping at nearby Tanger Outlet. I took a walk on the waterway and stumbled upon the Boat House, a casual waterfront eatery with great shrimp and live music. I ended up snuggled in a hammock with a tropical cocktail feeling more like I was in Key West than a bar and grill in Myrtle Beach.
Bottom Line
