Review of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina


Great, but attracts rednecks from the Midwest
Star Rating - 6/7/2017
It's a great vacation destination considering it's drivable from the Midwest and cheap. The water temperature is warm, and the weather is pretty good for as far north as it is. Has really good outlet shopping. Most of the locals are pretty nice; the few I've encountered that aren't are generally transplants (i.e. Owners of Seablue Restaurant, who are really from Philadelphia and harassed me relentlessly over a negative online review.....this is one place to avoid).

The only real negative is because it is cheap and drivable you get a lot of hillbillies from Ohio and Indiana. Indeed, Ohio and Indiana are where the hillbillies are, not always the south. They stick out like a sore thumb because they are so poorly dressed and uncouth. We were even told at one restaurant that we fooled them into thinking we were locals because we didn't look like the rest of the pack.

Midwesterners are Dorks, Dry, reserved and zero personality. Dull and dim - witted. Ohio and Indiana could disappear into a sinkhole and no one would realize it for 2 years.

I lost it at "poorly dressed and uncouth". Well played sir, well played.

Wow don't you think you are something special. Generalizing a group of people from a state is mighty "uncouth" of you and say's a great deal about how "unsophisticated" you are, even though you surely think otherwise. Get WAY over yourself. I'd love to see a picture of you to see if you live up to the high opinion of yourself. I am certain it wouldn't match, considering what you wrote here.

And this person is from the lovely state of OK, a place you couldn't pay me to go to. What a joke.
