PF Chang's serves a lettuce wrap appetizer that is completely different than any other item on your typical appetizer menu. The ambiance of the restaurant and the service combined make your visit a worthwhile hour or two!

A third day in Myrtle Beach would simply consist of enjoying the nature that Myrtle Beach was built upon. Spend a day in complete relaxation by taking time to enjoy the sun and calming waves as they brush upon the sand.

An occasional dip in the Atlantic Ocean will also wake the senses and provide some necessary refreshment. Depending on the resort or hotel, there is often an outdoor pool and cabana that can also be enjoyed in addition to the oceanfront views.

As night falls upon you, you can visit one of the hundreds of miniature golf courses that seem to be on every corner in Myrtle Beach. From a pirate ship to Jurassic Park, there is every type of mini golf setting available depending on your preference
