Because, well, the beach. But there are also plenty of adrenaline-fuelled activities here – theme park rides at Funplex Myrtle Beach, parasailing, ziplining, surfing and banana boating. Depending on what gets you going, there are also over 100 championship golf courses dotted about. Perfect for swingers.

Add in some excellent craft beer breweries, fresh seafood at Murrells Inlet, horseback riding, one of the world’s biggest observation wheels and the opportunity to go ahem ‘shagging’ (that’s a dance folks) in some rowdy clubs and bars, then you can see why we think Myrtle Beach is a real corker of a spot.

Tourism is South Carolina’s bread and butter, and arguably the tourism epicentre of the state is in fact Myrtle Beach. Approximately 75,000 jobs exist within the industry here, and this includes working in hotels, bars, in retail, and in a whole host of other spots and entertainment venues here too.

The city is also home to a considerable number of retirees, so working in a care home or a medical centre is also an option here too. The average wage here per hour is give or take USD $15.50, and there’s also often perks such as complimentary housing, tips, staff meals and end of bonus contracts up to $500 here too.
