After a long time of staying home, we decided to see Myrtle Beach in 2020.  With it being our 40th anniversary, we decided to GO.  The place we went to was where we went 40 years ago, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Myrtle Beach 2020

We were surprised how few people were on the beach.  Whereas in years past people were so numerous that it was hard to walk between the umbrellas.  I know the first of November is far different from summer but we had temperatures in the high seventy’s.  it was a great time to sit on the beach and enjoy the sun.

We really enjoyed have the beach almost to our selves.  Myrtle Beach in 2020 gave us time to sit back in the sun and catch up on our reading.

A time and place to read.

Eating at some of the great restaurants was also much easier than the other times that we have been here.  We called to make reservations but I don’t think we needed to other than for seating location.  You can see a couple below. I will be posting more on the restaurants.  We went to some great places at Murrell’s Inlet and at Calabash.

A great meal with a great view.

We could not believe how nice everything was at Myrtle Beach  in 2020.  When first making our plans we thought that we would have to eat in most nights, but you can see this was not the case.

One of my favorite restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area is Drunken Jack’s. The restaurant is located at 4031 Highway 17 Murrell’s Inlet. We have been going to Drunken Jack’s for more than twenty years. Over that time I have seen the restaurant grow and change with the times.

I must say that the one thing that has never changed is the great food. The seafood is my main reason for going there. The combo platters are great.

When I have been at the beach for several days, I will change to beef. I love Drunken Jacks prime rib. I did not get a photo of it on this trip but some of the crew did order a couple of steaks.

Steak and fries

The meals all come with a salad bar and your choice of baked potato, fries, rice or vegetables.

I ask to be seated by a window if possible because of the nice view of the inlet.

Inlet view

Something that has taken place of the years and I feel will continue to grow is a walkway around the inlet. We enjoyed the walk after our meal.

Walkway around the Inlet

The walkway connects to other restaurants around the Inlet. We liked the way the restaurants have live music and areas where you can stop and listen to the performers.

I would suggest going early because they are always busy, enjoy your meal then walk around the inlet. We visit several places to listen to the music.
