As the price of gasoline rises to new, astronomical heights, it feels like everything is getting more expensive these days.

But after two years of the pandemic, many people still want to go on a vacation, even if it costs a little bit more.

Myrtle Beach is known for being an affordable vacation destination. But visitors to the Grand Strand still want to get the most out of the money they spend.

Obviously, the beaches are free and parking near them is pretty cheap.
