Myrtle Beach International Airport

Tourism drives nearly all of its traffic, with millions of vacationers arriving each year for the area's wide beaches, extensive golf course network, and family entertainment attractions that have made Myrtle Beach one of the most visited seaside destinations on the US East Coast.
