directions to Myrtle Beach from I-95

[CAROLW]

I see this question has been asked before, but the last post I saw was about a year ago, and there was several different recommendatios.

We are travelling from New Jersey on a Friday (6/19) or Sat. Just me and (2) 7 yr olds in the car. I want the quickest route (of course)...scenery isn't at all important. We are staying at the Marriott Oceanwatch.

Any advice?

Take exit 193 to Dillon. Go thru Dillon and get on 501 at Latta. 501 takes you straight to MB.

I just found this post and hope you get it in time.

We own at the Broadway Sheraton and have camped in MB. We have completed this trip several times. SR501 can get quite congested at times so we tried this one.

In Dillon, turn left on route 9 and follow it all the way to route 31, the Carolina Parkway. It is mostly a two lane road but not much traffic. Then head south on the Parkway to MB and your destination.

I got these directions from a Myrtle Beach forum. We have tried many different routes and found these directions to be the quickest.


• I -95 to US -264 (exit 119) just past Wilson, NC;
• 264 east
• 117 south (Goldsboro and Mt. Olive)
• I-40 south to exit 416 which is I-140 (bypass)
• I-140 towards Brunswick beaches/Myrtle Beach
• 17 south
• 9 north
• 31 south
• 22 east
• 17 south (Stay left as 17 splits into bypass or business)
• Left on 82nd Ave.

An OceanWatch employee who used to live in Maryland gave us these directions.


From Lumberton 295 south:

• Get off on exit 14 on Highway 74 east
• 410 east or south
• 701 south through town of Loris
• 22 east
• 17 south (Stay left as 17 splits into bypass or business)
• Left on 82nd Ave.

The only other way I know of would be to take Rt. 58 E. from Emporia, VA; thru Norfolk, VA (I-664); across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel on Rt. 13 and up the Delmarva Peninsula to Wilmington, DE ( or over to the Cape May Ferry).
