I'd like to take my two year old daughter to the beach for her birthday over Memorial Day. We typically go to Myrtle beach and I just found out that there is a bike week there during this time.
I'd like some suggestions for a beach that is within 3-4 hours from both Raleigh (other family member driving from here) and Charlotte.
- Clean beach
- Close proximity to restaurants
- Family friendly but not isolated
- Not a stuffy atmosphere
Also, if you've stayed at a resort that you'd recommend that would be helpful.
Thanks everyone,
Susanne & Katie

Ocean Isle Beach.
Sea Trail Resort in Sunset Beach is really nice too.

As a thought, have you considered the possibility of going to Virginia Beach instead? You can spend the entire time on the boardwalk, never too far away from anything.

+1 for Ocean Isle Beach. Holden Beach is amazing, too. Maybe a little less to do there than OIB, but still a wonderful family beach.
Have you looked into Emerald Isle? That might be the closest for the Raleigh folks. Never been, but heard great things.

I thought Myrtle Beach was not welcoming the bikers this year?

The only problem is that VA Beach is kind of dumpy. |

Look on VRBO.com (Vacation Rentals by Owner) for some great deals, don't know about the beach/areas. I know the gulf coast is clean.

The beaches around Charleston are the best in the Carolinas, and even though it's farther away milage wise from Charlotte, b/c it's freeway all the way there, it's quicker to get there...Isle of Palms is the best family beach, Sullivans Island, which has no hotels, only rental cottages & houses, is less crowded.
