Each month we round up some of the latest stories about Myrtle Beach as a destination. We know that many of you have seen the COVID-19 -related stories. Here are some of the other August 2020 major media clips you may have missed. The coverage was fairly broad in August, focusing on the theaters reopening, the destination as a top beach destination and place to retire, golf and how Myrtle Beach is one of the markets driving the vacation rental business.

Also, TripAdvisor included not one, but three Grand Strand beaches in their top 25 beaches in the United States: Myrtle Beach, Litchfield Beach and Cherry Grove Beach.
