Myrtle Beach in 2020

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.

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.

I found The Old Salty Dog Restaurant to be a good place to eat in Siesta Key. We stopped by the Old Salty Dog our first week at Siesta Key for an early dinner.

I had the traditional English fish and chips which were great.

My wife had the Captain’s Plate, which is a filet of Mahi with shrimp and two sides.

We enjoyed sitting at the Old Salty Dog, eating our food and enjoying the view around us. The restaurant has open air seating beside the sidewalk allowing you to enjoy the warm breezes and a view of the area. With the word Dog in its name, you know that they would have hot dogs on the menu.  The Salty Dog has two hot dogs on the menu one is a regular hot dog, but the other is a beast. I think the people from Hillbilly Hot Dogs may have consulted with them. It’s called “Our Famous Salty Dog”. I read about it and wanted to try it but in the end common sense won and I passed on it.

The next week my brother and sister-in -law came down to stay a few days with us. We told them about the Old Salty Dog and we decided to go there for dinner.

My Brother-in-law and I decided to tackle The Old Salty Dog.

I have to warn you this is not just a big hot dog. The wiener is dipped in batter and is then deep fried.  We decided to go a step further. We order the Loaded Salty Dog, which comes with Sauerkraut, Bacon, Grilled Onions and Mushrooms and three cheeses. After going through the items on this giant hot dog, I have to include the picture one more time.

Yes this is a Hot Dog

How did we do? Well, we clean our plates and we were glad to know we had stomach pills back at the Air BnB house if needed.
