• Myrtle Beach hotels offer panoramic ocean vistas.beach 7 image by Joshua Peterson from Fotolia.com
  
  Let's face it. When you travel to the beach, you want to see the beach. In your mind, you're envisioning vistas of sparkling water, gulls swooping overhead and imagining ocean breezes filtering in through sheer, billowing curtains. Sojourners headed to Myrtle Beach for spring break or summer vacation need not concern themselves about not catching a glimpse of the ocean when they go to the beach. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is home to many hotels with an ocean view.
